A fluorescent light in a spectrum between 6000 and 7000 K.
Some daylight simulating ones work well.

If your doing brf don't you need vermiculite also??? From experience light doesn't seem to be a big issue...which makes it a real inexpensive hobby!!

He listed Verm on the bottom.

Beside the pod to steam the jars in? A lighter to flame sterilize the syringe needles between each jar. Isopropyl and any other sanitizers are optional but make things a little safer.

Do you have a pressure cooker? alchohol, and stuff to make your "clean box" also I think you need gypsum as well but you probably can find that somewhere rather than buy it

Yeah, you'll need to of those tubs, one for a glove box and one for a FC.
Your probably gonna have a hard time finding syringes too.
And you might want to pick up some bulk ingredients in case you plan to upgrade to bulk.
Another thing you might be interested in is looking at a lid tek, and buying some things to upgrade your lids.
Edit: Now that I think of it, check out some lc tek's too just in case you want to make one of them.

Dont forget to tape the holes before steaming and dont retape after inoculation. Leave the foil off after inoculation. Good Luck!!!

you might need damp-rid or silica gel to dry the mushies when they're ready (why not plan ahead?)
or a food dehydrator, but that's a bit pricey...
12 hours + in front a fan and then a day or two in my damp-rid chamber has always gotten them 100% dry for me.
hmmmmm.... what else?
oh yeah, it doesn't hurt to have a power drill with a 1/2" bit for making holes in the fruiting chambers....

RR Videos!
A spray bottle with Alcohol in it. - Spray down gloves before touching jars.
1 cup of Bleach, 1 Cup of Vinegar, and a gallon of water. Spray your grow area and glove box to clean up/prevent contams.

BRF sucks, start with grains, man...Jars cost the same, grains cost the same if not cheaper to get rye or corn or WBS, or all three at the same time if you wanted. Then just go to salvation army or goodwill and get a PC for real cheap and poof, you're growin bulk.
If you are set on BRF, make 4-point inoculation lids with poly stuffed in the holes for filtration, rather than verm layer....makes so you can shake the BRF up and get it nice and airy again once it's cooled.
