Tbh, youd be better off buying a photography splitter and throw a few household globes In it and saving up for a better light in the future.

At 18" this is putting out around 600umol/s and has a mixed 2700k,4000k and 6500k spectrum.

35000 X 0.017 = 595umol/s (equation only works with average white spectrum). Over 18 hours gives a DLI of 40 and has a surprising spread considering.
I picked up the 3x4000k and 3x2700k globes for $15 from a bric-a-brac store and picked up the 7 way splitter for $8 from a local photographer. Had an 11w bulb here already so $23 for the whole setup.
At 12" it's putting out close to 900umol/s. Whats surprising is that it's a total of 96w but puts out 13% less light than my 150w QB at full pelt with 288 lm281b diodes, while keeping the tent cooler.
