looking for a low heat submersible light for fuge

Can someone suggest a low heat submersible light for a fuge? I'm wanting to convert one compartment to cheato and I don't want to cut the film on the back. I'd rather get some kind of submirsible light with low heat to put down in the compartment. Any suggestions? Can LED's put out enough light to support macro algae?
 
I will, but for reference:

The researchers found our that blue and red light is essential for plant growth and, in general, a percentage of 8% blue LEDs and 92% red LEDs, both with the same frequency and relative intensity per LED, are enough for a harmonious evolution. Blue has a smaller influence than red however a percentage between 1% and 20% of blue light can be selected, depending on the plants and their growth requirements.

"What we've found basically is that we are able to limit the amount of colour we give to the plants and still have them grow as well as with white light."
...
For smaller applications, such as indoor gardens, LEDs seem to be the right choice.

Reds and blues may work, but the sun gives off a yellow/white color, and the plants in the ocean seem to do fine.... so wouldn't a yellow/white colored bulb or light work fine?
