Lighting for in-vitro bags

Hey all-
I improperly asked a question earlier so I would like to restart.
I have 72 BRF bags that are close to full colonization.
I am going to fruit in-vitro I am wondering if a set up like this pictured below with three 65W 6500k lightbulbs in it if they were pointed at the bags would work and be enough light

Or if this does not work would one standard shop light flourescent with a 6500k Bulb do the trick?
I appreciate any help

Dude I know my bad I just felt like a d-bag after messing up on the last one, I really am sorry and just didn't think I would get help after f'ing that one up.
Ok will just one shop light be enough do ya think?

What is the primary pinning trigger? I am at about 75% colonization so I want to get this down and not mess up

Main pinning triggers are full colonization, FAE and Evaporation off of the substrate.
Light is a secondary pinning trigger. For tropical species temperature is not a pinning factor.
P. Cubensis are a tropical species. You could colonize at 70F and fruit at 80F with great results.
Light has been proven beneficial during all stages of mycellium growth. Mushrooms like mammals have a circadian rhythm.
You want ambient/indirect light(on a 12/12 schedule preferably) for colonization and consolidation.
You want direct/intense 6500K light on a 12/12 schedule for fruiting.
Optimal temps are mid 70s throughout the whole grow, but anywhere from 65F-80F is acceptable.
Incubation is outdated/uneeded unless temps in the range stated above cannot be kept.
The inside of the jar is always a few degrees warmer than the outside because the mycellium produces heat..mycellium tends to stall at temps above 86F , and contams thrive.
Fruiting at cooler temps tends to produce denser, meatier fruits, while fruiting at higher temps will often produce hollow, less dense stems.
