Will LED lights cause algae to grow?

I’m thinking about buying a couple of Marineland bubble wands for my freshwater aquarium. It’s a bubble stone with LED lights built in. Here’s a link https://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3671+19788&pcatid=19788 I would get the blue one. I was just wondering, if the LED’s were on at night and my regular lights were on during the day would that cause algae blooms?

no not really they would need to be strong enough to support the photosynthesis of the algae which they most likely aren’t i have moonlights on my tank and not a lick of algae
No, the lights are not bright enough to grow anything, they are just for decoration.

The regular light might cause algae growth, but the LED lights on the bubble wand are not bright enough to have much (if any) effect on algae.
