Will a blue led strip increase algae?

Hey all I have a blue led bubble stip it the bottom of my tank... If I leave it on at night will it promote algae? Here's a pix it's not too bright.
Thanks for the help

I don't believe so. The watts are low so the light is very minimal. I run mine and haven't noticed any major algae outbreaks. If you think your getting algae because of it, you can then it off or shorten its time.

Ok thanks for the help and info ... I like keeping them on at night so I can see my pleco in action lol... He moves around most when the lights are off...
