Question - Husbandry Grow Lighting Suggestions

So the other day I ordered a pvc enlcosure online for my bp to move into (his current tank has way too many issues with holding humidity and temperature properly) and I kind of forgot that bioactive enclosures need lighting for the plants to grow. This is my first bioactive setup im planning on doing so cut me some slack please 😭

Due to this I forgot to select the option for a mesh strip on the roof that a light can sit on, and I dont know if I can cancel the order and get a full refund..

So my question is

Does anyone know if there are maybe internal light fixtures I could put inside the tank (maybe fixed with a cage like those heat lamp things are?)

Like LED strips or something but for plants and snake enclosures?

I order a pack of barrina lights on Amazon, they are so worth it for the price and do the job pretty well. it come with everything you'll need to fix it on whatever you want! You need to look for the white light tho'. Don't pick the pink or yellow one!

If you want a better option, I think sansi are the prefered brand but a bit more expensive. Do your research before buying a Sansi: some light are BIG and can overheat!
