I've been keeping critters for decades. The subject of lighting and the myths continue.
Aside from uncontrolled heating elements of any type, the only thing to be concerned about is if the animal can see a particular wavelength of light. I don't believe BPs have spectral sensitivity into the red, at least not to any significant amount if memory serves.
I've used the moonlight bulbs for eons with no problem. They simulate a nice blue hue that one sees at night in the wild.
People are stupid, and FB is full of junk.
People that own exotics especially seem to think these animals will fall apart at the slightest incident, not true.
