"deep night" and "late night"

Hi, I'm curious about "late night". When people say "late night", how "late" would it be? is it "later" than "deep night"? thank you in advance.

Hi, I think nobody can be certain as to the exact time at which "late night" begins so late night is simply a time late in the night. Best regards Ivan

I've never heard "deep night." At the risk of sounding like a typical American, I associate the definition of "late night" with television - anything after prime time, so anything after 11:00 p.m.

"Deep night" is new to me, but if I were to come across in a context, I'm sure it would refer to the lack of natural lighting (stars & moon).
