Hello! Since moving to a new house my large collection of nepenthes and a few drosera havent been getting as much sunlight as they used to, my new south and west facing window setup has a tree nearby that gives off shade during certain times of day. My plants have definitely noticed and a have began growing smaller pitchers.
Id like to supplement their light with a few LED bulbs that I'd hang nearby. I dont have any experience with grow lights and would like to know if these would be sufficient, and Id also like to know how close I could leave them to the plants if I was to turn them on for 8 hours a day.

These bulbs are 100 wats have 1575 lumens, and their light appearance is 5000K. They seem comparable to T5 bulbs from what Ive read but Im not an expert here so I want to make sure.
If there is a better low cost option I am all ears, I just want to get something cheap down to supplement my plants light, they dont need to solely survive off these. Thank you for any responses!
