I wanted to see for myself and it looks like the spectra of the sun and moon are fairly similar:
Moon: https://olino.org/blog/us/articles/2015/10/05/spectrum-of-moon-light/comment-page-1/
Sun: https://seos-project.eu/earthspectra/images/Solar-spectrum_th.png
Looks pretty similar I gotta say
That being said, the intensity is of course much lower of the light reflected from the moon.
"Similar" is not identical. I'm assuming that slight difference is technically where the vampire-harming properties lie (lore-wise).
Kind of like how Duncan MacDougall published a study that human souls have weight, as he recorded someone losing 21 grams at the moment of their death. Not very significant at all, but perhaps humanity lies in the subtleties...
