Blue LED light?

I was thinking of getting a low wattage blue LED bulb to simulate moonlight and allow for short term viewing. Any opinions? I don’t need heat so all the bulbs I have been finding at pet stores, etc include heat. Up until now when I peek I’ve been using a small LED flashlight but it also scares them sometimes so I’ve stopped doing that.

I purchased a Aqueon Delux LED Full Hood with a day and night light. Since purchasing it I upgraded to a larger tank and just use the light attachment of it.

I have just a regular household, blue, LED bulb that I have in a dark colored heat lamp cone. It works great for night viewing. Found mine at Lowe’s.
ETA: my crabbies don’t seem to mind when I click this bulb on at night. Nobody hides or snaps back into their shell...everybody just goes about their evening business. I love it!

This is what I use on the ceiling of my crab room - I love it - it give my crabbies a realistic moon to look at.

I use this: GloFish Tetra Care 6 Inch Blue LED Aquarium Light, 1 ct
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FQT2QC0/re ... PBbEVCMPN5 I have it on a timer to come on for about 90 minutes before lights out. I liked it because it clips to the tank easily and doesn’t take up much space. It is super bright, but a folded a piece and parchment paper a few times and zip tied it on. They don’t seem to mind.

Ty! Yes- it is on a timer in my room. It comes on when the moon is visible outside, and goes off at sunrise.

Ah. So in the whole room as opposed to inside the cage. That’s awesome.
