Lights?

I have been using CFLs for lighting, they're great. I was just wondering if any one knew of other lights that are good to use for mushrooms? Something that you can buy at Home Depot or Walmart?
Thanks

I use these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Light-It-White-9-LED-Anywhere-Puck-Light-3-Pack-30016-308/204205373?cm_mmc=Shopping%7CTHD%7Cgoogle%7CD27L+Interior+Lighting&mid=sUOOxnBTX%7Cdm_mtid_89037lm25188_pcrid_52448460335_pkw__pmt__product_204205373_slid_&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0bug9p2-2gIVFrXACh3_5QvxEAQYASABEgLCe_D_BwE
I use them mainly because there's no power outlet where my tubs are. Definitely not the most cost effective because you have to replace the batteries every 12-24 hours if you want the light to be bright. I just buy batteries in bulk at the dollar store
Their the only battery powered light I've been able to find with the proper color temperature (5500K)

Yeah, I live in a small city that belongs to a region called "Costa del Sol" (Coast of the Sun), and it's called that way for a reason lol, we have plenty of light even in winter, but not everybody lives in sunny places, my bad.

Fuengirola?
Watch out man, no need to be so specific about your residence 
But then.. it's not US, here in EU it's much less of a risk...

Good to know... here in CZ it's not a criminal offense to grow up to 3 marijuana plants per person and mushrooms are kinda illegal to grow but there are no known cases of anyone being caught or prosecuted so it's fine...

Sondiko LED Grow Light Bar, Upgraded Timing Function 7W Grow Light with 48 Leds Dimmable 4 Levels Lamp Bulbs for Indoor Plants Hydroponics Greenhouse Gardening https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079NZT5T3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_vFa2AbW2YVTJG
I use this LED bar made for plants. It comes with adhesive so it's stuck to the lid of SGFC. I don't have outlets where my FC is either, but this light bar is USB and I use a portable USB battery pack to power it. It has brightness settings and timer settings, I really recommend it !
