Any silicone that comes out of a tube and dries. Unless you're submerging the light, then you want reef safe. It's just pliable glue in this case

Well there's all kinds of articles on what glue to use so you don't fog the lens. I don't know enough about silicone to know if it can be similar. Lol Better to be safe than sorry.
