It only mattersif you're running it during the day (i.e. when there's light outside and no need for electric lights)
The photons will otherwise be reflected by a white-backed curtain or absorbed by a black-backed curtain.
If you were really, really anal about this sort of thing and were using dimmer switches to control the light level in the room and had white-backed curtains you could probably have it at a lower setting with the curtains closed. But you'd waste more energy in the dimmer switch than you'd save by having it turned down.
