do you think this will be a good enough spot for the lighting? there is no other spot in the house for the lamp to be held on. i just bought a bulb that has 5000 kelvin. good enough?

aah. if i were you, try to put the light directly above the cake. this will prevent the mushies growing on one side and not the other. we learned this from experience.

6500-6700 is more aligned with the hobby, as it is a better representation of natural sunlight. I have not studied the effects, but other users have reported back that the 5000k bulb does not do as well for the mycelium as the 6500/6700k.

get one of these

It will give you a lot more flexibility where to hang the light on since not only have a fairly strong clamp but also you can rotate the light in different directions

You learned wrong.
The cakes should pin on all sides, whether or not light is hitting all sides.
The light should be above and to the side a bit, and yes 5000K lighting is fine.
