"Light nights" instead of "white nights"

[Rachel Adams]

Hello.

Can I use 'light' instead of 'white' in my sentence?
'Petersburg is famous for its light nights.'

What do you mean by "light nights"?

Light meaning white.

I've no idea what you mean by 'bright, white or light nights' in St Petersburg.

White Nights is the name of a festival which originated in St Petersberg to celebrate the summer solstice.
It is called Light Night in Leeds, England.

I've no idea what you mean by 'bright, white or light nights' in Petersburg.

I am talking about this phenomenon:
The White Nights (Beliye Nochi) are a curious phenomenon caused by St. ... St. Petersburg is the world's most northern city with a population over 1 million, and it stands at such a high latitude that the sun does not descend below the horizon enough for the sky to grow dark.

Taking into account the phenomenon I mentioned in post #7 can I perhaps use 'light'?

Yes.
