No you don't need a glow light to be able to catch squid at night. If you're fishing in an area that is lit up, try and cast your jigs on the edge of the lighted areas. Also if you have a glow in the dark jig, try 'charging' the jig with a torch before you cast, and recharge when the glow begins to fade.
I have had no luck shining a torch on my jig when its in the water - I have a feeling that it might put the squid off more than attract them. Whenever I've located squid with a torch, then cast a jig to it, I've rarely caught the squid. You're better of casting and slowly retrieving your jigs in likely looking areas.
