Moon Light?

I a new aquarist. I have seen a "Moon LIght" by Coralife for sale at a online vendor. What purpose will this light have in a freshwater tank? Should one light be used in a 55g or multiple lights to try to illuminate the entire tank.

Thanks for any help,

A Newbie

Its good to watch your fish at night, especially for the ones that are more active at night

You can easily make one for really cheap, like $15-$20, instead of buying one for $50+
