I know two things for sure on this topic.

1.) If I was a fish, and someone woke up from the blackness of the morning with with an immediate blast of 500w in my eyes...I would be pretty pissed off...until my eyes adjusted, and i got my bowl of captain crunch(or the marine equal). Thankfully most tanks get "room light" before main lights are turned on.

2.) Most living creatures react with discomfort to drastic change...We as reef keepers try all we can to keep a stable enviroment, salinity levels, temp, ph...etc...Those that are more sucessfull in my observations, try to limit extreem sudden changes to the nth degree. remeber..light is energy and energy sets off a host of chemical and then biological processes.
