No. Extended light usage can encourage excess algae growth. It’s best to replicate a day/night schedule for your aquarium. Keep lights on 8-12 hours per day for planted aquariums and 6-10 hours per day for ornamental setups.
Algae growth is partially affected by the number of hours your lights remain on but not necessarily by the type of bulb you use. Additional factors for algae growth include the nutrients in the water and live plant density.
LED lights are a great option because they allow you to adjust light levels based on the different species that make up your aquatic community. They also tend to output less heat than more traditional aquarium lighting.

My fish tank LED light broke. Is using an LED flashlight safe for the fish?
I got a lED fish light for my fish tank and I only got one light for one side so far and where the light is its growing a brown algae really bad and the other side without the light isn't. Do certain lights cause algae. If so, what lights don't and what type of lighting is the best? I have two filters in my tank and it's only one side so I dont think it would be anything else

I have two baby oranda goldfish that are very stressed, they live with two other baby orandas that are normal, the four of them share a 37 gallon aquarium together. Should I turn off the tank light to reduce some stress?
Is this a good setup for Nighthawk, the first photo is the over all setup, the second one is the side view and the third is the water and calcium dishes. I use an under tank heater that stays at about 88 degrees Fahrenheit and the vines are fake. He has a warm hide and a cold hide with moss in it that’s i spray down every other day. The little box is another little hide that I can see him in. And the background is tile it paper rolls that were painted(they were left to dry for two weeks)
