Can someone please point me in the right direction for some lighting

I'm using a humidity chamber, fruiting around 4 or 5 cakes at a time. I already have a blue spectrum light but thats being used on another set up. Just wondered if anyone knows of any decent lighting methods on eBay or Etsy as the supplier of my other one has gone awol...I'm in the UK if that makes any difference
Many thanks

Go to your local hardware store and buy a 3ft ballast with a couple of aquarium lights.

The sun... ambient light is better than direct light, I've had stunted mushies when I use direct light.

Just go to a hardware store and look for something in the 5000-6500K range. Usually a CFL or LED. In the US, they're usually listed as "daylight" as opposed to the normal soft white. No need at all to order them. Get a cheap clip light and screw it in.

No lights needed, ambient light works great.

Like everyone has said ambient light is enough.
I live in the UK too and in winter some days there is no ambient light so I top them up with this: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01IN5BLUG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
