Most light semblances seem to go for just the usual light from candles/fire (I think Candlelight was the name of it), but I also noticed one that seemed to mention moonlight itself, which I thought was interesting.

Actually hit up some forums that did discussions of moonlight- that as Ray pointed out earlier, does indicate there are some differences in moonlight and regular sunlight. Obviously, you aren't going to burn your eyes out from staring at the moon- not that I've heard of anyway- so there's definitely some differences in the light spectrum seen from the moon's surface (reflected yes, yeesh this makes a post word filled).

So far from what I've seen, it's indicated that the composition of the moon's surface causes it to absorb a fair amount of the light- thus we don't see yellow light from the moon typically, but white and silver, occassionally red very rarely, and so on. So there's some definite differences in the wavelengths- if my recollection (and limited knowledge) of science is correct. There were some posts that I've read elsewhere indicating that this also causes a fair amount of solar radiation to be absorbed- which in hindsight I should have thought about.

No one gets a sunburn from being under the moonlight- or at least, I don't think that's a thing unless who knows what.

I can just tweak some of the wording- no biggie.
