Edit: what are the light requirements?

The lair light requirement is anything over 300. Given the "Bathing Pools" encounter, I would say the light requirement for prestige Leviathan is 330.

Yeah, it's funny -- when CoO hit and people were really upset that some of the top-tier endgame stuff required CoO (and as a by-product the ability to acquire the achievement/trophy for beating a Prestige Nightfall or Raid became impossible without CoO), one of the main things Bungie did to remedy that was that they changed the achievement/trophy to only work from Raid completion, and lowered the recommended light requirement for Prestige Leviathan from 330 back to 300.

So, theoretically, Prestige Leviathan is supposed to be "easier" now that we can be 335 and the light recommendation is 300 -- but in practice, it is still freakin difficult as hell. Most of your problems will come from the fact that all of the adds have higher hit points and you will generally have some issues with ammo shortages as a result.
