You’ll need to buy grow lights. :))
I use these two though other growers might recommend better:

A full spectrum LED light is going to be your best balance of light quality, low heat, and light that doesn't look crazy weird.

With that said, one of these will be enough to nurture a juvenile plant along, but a mature plant will be straining for a little more then just one bulb can offer. This type of bulb should be used within a couple of inches of the foliage in a perfect world.
I got a pair of cheap led light panels on Amazon. A blurple, and a white full spectrum. The blurple sucks and draws a lot of power. The full spectrum is just okay. I added two screw in Taotronics lights I had, and it made all the difference. Heat has also been a big issue for both panels. I've retired the blurple out of frustration with its poor quality.
When I started my garden, I could have gotten better lights, but I cheaped out. I regret that decision. You may be able to buy lights for half the price, but you will get what you pay for.
Fixed Taotronics light name. Added link to a similar light.
Thanks! For a lot of red plants co2, fertilizer, and high light will bring out their color a lot more and have them growing pretty fast. I have the 3 extra fixtures on my tank because I got two of those bulbs as gifts, and decided to get a third because I’ve found they do a lot for growth and color on my red plants. Also since this tank is pretty tall, I wanted to add a bit more light than what my beamswork light can do.
The beamswork lights are pretty good for planted tanks especially if you’re on a budget. I got the 36” full spectrum LED fixture for my 40 breeder for about $50 and it works great. If you want a lot of red plants I’d definitely go with a full spectrum WRGB LED fixture like this one. it’s the exact one I use. The one pictured in this post is a different one tho, it’s only got white and blue lights. You can check my previous post here to see what the full spectrum one would look like.
Here is a link to the pink bulbs as well.
Sure, https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Spectrum-Hydroponics-Organic-Wavelengths/dp/B0748D2SMB/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1538534159&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Taotronics+grow+lights&psc=1
I’ve had good results with these (the gold ones, the green ones aren’t as powerful). The top review goes into a ton of detail about their effectiveness.

This one works well for me, but it is expensive compared to the version on US amazon.
Another question - this one about grow lights. It gets pretty cloudy here, sometimes for weeks at a time, and I figure I would rather prep and make sure my new plants are getting enough light now so when winter comes it won't be an issue (Illinois does not get much sunlight then). My windowsills are small, though, so I'd like to set up a rack in the corner of the kitchen with lights and expand a bit. It won't be a huge area though.

I found these two grow lights and I'm not sure if one would be significantly better? The flexible one would be nice and more space efficient for me but would getting the bulb and a cheap desk lamp be better for the plants?

Thank you!
I have 4 led grow lights https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0748D2SMB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I think i turned some off when i took this picture.
I have one of these. You can put it in any standard E26 socket (that's the usual light bulb socket). The bulb looks kinda neat and the light color is slightly pink instead of shocking magenta so it's not obnoxious. Also, it provides enough light to actually grow some things. I currently have tomato starts under it and they're doing fine.
Thank you so much! Here is the link to the one that I purchased. I have it about 2 feet above my succs and I keep it on 24/7. Grow Light
I use these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0748D2SMB?aaxitk=1Jl64k8F2dJkCEbIEo-62Q&th=1&psc=1
Plants are growing great with them, no complaints. (Actually, my only complaint is that they take a few minutes to turn on again after switching them off for some reason.)

I started using 6 of these, but you might be able to start with 4 and supplement with some CFL.

this is what I’ve been using!
These are probably overkill for a 5 gal, these are what I use on my 30 gal. You'll need a lamp or a waterproof socket. They make a vert bright purple light, which is optimal for plant growth. You get less algae than from a white light.

If you want white light, google "high cri led par"
cri - color rating index. Basically, how well does a LED replicate the color of an incandescent bulb. I look for over 90cri
par - describes the lamp shape. Directs all the light forward in a wide cone, great for overhead lighting on a tank because a single lamp's light will spread out to cover the whole tank, and the bright lens of the bulb is pointed away from your eyes. For choosing your wattage, you'd probably want something in the 10-15W range.
Also, choose one that is 3000K. This replicates the warm amber color of an incandescent bulb. The higher the K, the more blue the light. Plants need mostly red light, and a bit of blue. It's also easier on the eyes, and I know how much time we all spend staring into our tanks.

I've seen both of these recommended here:

I'm relatively new to succulents and I'm looking for any feedback on my overwintering setup. I have limited space, so this is what I came up with..
