I think dark, warm is your best bet!. Light can damage alcohol!.
I usually judge whether primary fermentation is finished by watching the airlock, not the clock!. Depending on sugar content, type of yeast, conditions, desired alcohol level, etc, the amount of time can vary widely!. Usually, though, when there's no activity in the airlock for several minutes, primary fermentation is done and you can move onto the next step!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In order to get any reasonable amount of fermentable sugars from rice it needs to be treated!. The breakdown of rice starch in Sake making is done with a bacteria and or other fungi culture!.
