| | | Like everything, it depends. For abandoned buildings, I very much prefer the daylight. Aside from being able to clearly see holes in the floor and other hazards, you also don't have to be especially careful with your light. Shining a flashlight around in an abandoned building at night is FAR more likely to draw attention. Active buildings are generally better during the day, when people are around and expected to be there, but night is a great time for a nice view of the skyline. Something along a busy route, you may need to consider the option of "pre-dawning" where you make your way in while it's still dark, but then get the advantages of daylight soon after. You specifically mention lighting, so I'll assume you have some interest in photography. In which case you already know that the best natural light is in the early morning, late evening being a close second. Underground largely doesn't matter, but I still prefer daytime, because every now and then you catch a piece of natural light while deep in a cave or drain and it can be really striking. (I also prefer daytime because I have a real job and a family and I just can't stay out until four in the morning with any regularity.) The best time of day for getting caught is less open for debate. Between 5:30PM and about 7:00PM. No question.

| | | I tend to do Sunday mornings, as the police are mellow, parking is free, and I can claim ignorance if I'm caught, and pin it on a Sunday stroll. Most of the time, you don't really need to worry about being caught. Play it off and be friendly yet mature, and the situation will right itself. If you're going for the creepy, though, go at night. However, that's also when the less than desirable crowds congregate in abandonments, so keep an eye out.
