My understanding is that UV is not a good light for tanks. Night viewing can be done using red kights which I beleive fish don't see. If you don't want to find a red bulb setup for the tank, you should be able to use lighting gels commonly used in theatrical/stage lighting.

The cameras we ordered for monitoring the fish had infrared light. The fish went ballistic!
As for UV-light, I wouldn't recommend it. UV-light would sterilise way too much, and would certainly sterilise any eggs caught in the light.
