Not OP...but I have a bunch of plant grow lights for my houseplants and can answer
If you go to Amazon and search SANSI full spectrum grow lights, you can find an assortment of sizes and wattages. I have a couple in the 30 watt range and they are amazing lights
Then you simply have to get a medium to large clamp on shop light and aim the lamp wherever you want the light to go.
These sansi bulbs are also pretty light weight. I currently have one just hanging from the ceiling over my palm so it gets as much light as it needs to stay big and healthy. And its bright enough so that plants in the room also get some ambient light.
Ive also had really good luck with this clamp on light. I chose this one because its bright, its white full spectrum light, and it doesn't come with a built in timer.
I plug my grow lights into WIFI outlet plugs so I can custom set the schedule depending on the day of the week.
Other tips. The pink style grow lights tend to have good results with young growing plants. You can get the clamp on LED versions all over Amazon. But I have had better over all luck with full spectrum white LED lamps. Plus the pink light just doesn't feel as nice as full spectrum white.
In the deep winter, those full spectrum lamps can really give you the feeling of sunlight...which helps with happiness
Putting them outside right away can be bad for a few reasons. They’re delicate and sensitive to intense light, changes in temperature, gusting wind, and predators. They do not have the strength or root systems in place yet to recover from any environmental stress. Unless you get very lucky with weather and the cosmos are aligned juuuust right, you might be in for a rough time. Getting leggy is definitely a possibility with them being inside and not having a grow light, but you can always bury the stems pretty deeply when you transplant them and are ready to put them out. Your window isnt ideal, but it’s probably still a better bet at this time. You can also find a pretty cheap grow light option if you have $ 15 to spare. Here’s an entry level fixture for a nice CFL grow bulb. It’s $10 on amazon prime with free shipping. You can also find these at the hardware store, or a discount store like big lots (I got em for 5-8$ there)

Simple CFL grow bulbs in the 6500K “daylight” spectrum. 4 pack of bulbs for $15. You can look around for cheaper ones, but just try to find the highest wattage equivalent you can, at 6500K spectrum.

Yeah if you flower under that you'll probably get some stretchy light leafy buds. It doesn't have to be a single 125w clf. Get some regular 2700k soft white cfl house light bulbs at Lowe's and a few cheap lamps or a multi socket lamp if you can find one. Or just buy some of these and swap them for yours when it's flower time.

Idk if you saw this, but this is what im talking about and its really cheap. You can get a smaller one from ace or lowes too. And you could potentially run a high tech tank with this light on your tank because it isnt so deep.

And don't forget clamp lamps: https://www.amazon.com/Woods-0169-169-Clamp-Light/dp/B009ONXWC2/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=clamp+lamps&qid=1550423123&s=hi&sr=1-2-spons&psc=1

Depending on how much space you have for a decent setup, you might want to consider T5 light bulbs and fixtures if you want more even distribution of light. I find that I have to put all my succulents together under or around the the lamp in order to get good growth and stress colors out of them. As long as the light bulbs are on or around 6500K (cool white light) then your plants will get the right amount of light that they would get if they had some sunlight.

You should invest in lamps like those. Use a 40-60 watt bulb (halogen, not LED) and keep the cord out of reach (they can and will chew through it, often without any side effects besides the occasional weird little scorch mark on the beak).
Your birds can handle almost any temperature you feel comfortable in (unless we're talking certain finch species). Just be sure there are no breezes on them. If you feel like they are cold, use a lamp like above set to one side of their cage so they can get out from under it if they get too warm.
If for some reason (super cold winters, bad heating in home, etc) your home gets below 55 Fahrenheit, those lamps will provide the warmth they need.
The lamps are also extremely useful for keeping a recently bathed bird warm while they dry, or an ill bird warm. A sick bird needs warmth so it can focus on using its energy to heal itself instead of struggling to keep warm.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with keeping them warmer than the rest of your house! Just be careful with space heaters, and make sure they are made for indoor use and cannot set anything on fire.

Just two clamp lamps on top with some 12W 6000k LEDs. The clamp lamps aren't actually clamped on, just the reflectors sitting on top of the glass lid.

The cheap LEDs in those kits can’t grow plants. I’ve tried. I didn’t get growth until I set up a contractor light on my 5 gallon with a 23 watt cfl 6500K. Now I have 8 on 3 tanks.
