https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Desk...4e2398882896d5e4e2d7|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:2334524 found this lamps as well. Should i take this one?
I'm working, I don't have time to look at everything
Lumens is a measure of the amount of light produced by the bulb overall, the plant will use photons, which are measured in mol (or µMol) at the leaves of the plant. so not exactly the same thing, but for your purposes, go with more lumens, and assume they mostly go onto the plants.
get whichever works best for you, make sure it is the right size, and will cover enough of your aquarium in light. don'tt overthink it, don't worry too much about 6500K,. By the time you have finished overthinking, you would already have a planted aquarium.

Am really no wanna bother u ofc... i gets that everyone works, i work hard too on me thinking xD would you kind having a look at post #14 and tell me if that bulb is fine to use?
It will work,to an extent.
Remember what I said about flourescant lights depending on reflectors and not being so efficient?
This is the same thing. It will work, but not all the light will be going into the tank .
Not my first choice, and I don't have time to see if you posted pics of your light to see if better options.
But just go for it! You may need to keep plants with lower light requirements.

personally, for a low budget, I'd use an LED floodlight, either screw/bayoney to connect to a lamp that would allow the bulb, like maybe an anglepoise lamp.
or if something bigger, I would use a dedicated floodlight,screwed into something above.
personally, I normally look at dedicated WRGB fixtures specifically for aquariums, preferably where I can alter the color, pendant for a cube tank, otherwise something to hang or go along the tank, just a normal aquarium light... I generally don't try to use regular household bulbs... I have a couple of boxes of them in the basement unused as a result.

Exactly! Dumb me. I should try and see if on eBay they sells led floodlight with an E14 SES screw. Will come back if I finds good one. Thank you
