Does the light from an LED affect PH?

[RFheavy]

If the LED keeps shining on the water that is already PH'd, will the light/heat affect PH levels?

interesting, never thought about that before. Why would the water be in the light in the first place?

I was changing my water and the light was reflecting off of it. It just got me thinking. I was pretty deep in the zone at the time...

light and heat will increase chances of things like algae and root rot. and heat will also reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen the water can hold.

I'm not sure if light can change ph but temperature can change ph a little. Most ph meters will automatically compensate for temperature though.
