Simulate moonlight? The only reason that the moon doesn't screw up the flowering cycle is that it doesn't reflect enough of the sun's light to be noticed.

The plants would do perfectly fine without any moonlight whatsoever.

I'll leave the tide-affects discussion to a plant biologist lol, but you know what I mean.

The only reason I can think of to have any light at all during the dark cycle would be if you are forced to work in your garden at that time. And in that event, you would want something in the green spectrum that the plants wouldn't notice (but don't ask me to recommend any particular type, I do not know exactly what range of "green" the plants don't use and it would be a real bummer to be off by just enough to cause problems).
