18 hours is a little soon to say how well it works. LED "grow lights" are either just red and blue to focus in on the wavelengths plants use (and I'm not subjecting my dog or myself to that all winter) or full spectrum bulbs like these, but marked up because the box says "grow light".
Here's an example of a "grow light" that's basically the same color, but less powerful and more expensive: https://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Commercial-Hydroponic-Ultra-Grow/dp/B0748ZPKT7/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1539719782&sr=8-21&keywords=growlight
Along with 2 of the bulbs in my post, I also got a 4 pack of very similar bulbs to that "grow light", but for less than half the price per bulb.
Now with cheaper bulbs longevity could be an issue, but I'm hoping that will be something a find out at least a couple years down the road. At this point, they're REALLY fucking bright and that's all that matters.
Yes, I use a light bar made for planted aquariums, but you can get full spectrum bulbs for cheap. I think I have this bulb on some of my low light plants and it seems to work alright.
Alright Sounds Good. If I were to use a light would this work fine?https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0748ZPKT7/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_10?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1
Happy to see this thread! CCW as this is my first attempt at a winter set up.
Lights:
7700K white LED panels
5000k bulb in a reflector clamp
Hardware:
Shelf. It's great for hanging the LED panels since I don't have a drill, but the smaller pots tip over easily on the wire rack.

Not sure how to light the Agave and Sempervivums that I just brought in. The only window in my apartment is a west facing slider that opens to a covered patio, so I don't get a lot of light inside.
I also grew cat grass for my pumpkin loaf so he wouldn't munch on the succulents.
The soil is mostly what it came in back in April. I did repot it about 2 weeks ago and the soil I used was some sort of cactus/citrus mix.
Ok, I'll run the grow light 14 hours a day. I got this one with a reflector.
I'm using this fertilizer and I'm putting in 2 stakes about every 6-8 weeks. I'm due to put 2 more stakes in, but should I do it before I bring it inside?
Once I move it inside, what are the chances that it'll grow more leaves? I'm concerned that since it doesn't have any leaves, it won't produce any food for itself over the winter and die completely. Basically, how do I encourage it to grow more leaves?

I have this bulb right above my heart leaf philodendron at work and it’s thriving. I just screwed it into a desk lamp. It should screw into most lamps just make sure it’s facing down and directing the light to the plant. LMK if this ends up helping!
I’m in the same zone and have a setup most similar to your scenario 1, except I have a smaller West facing window.

Then I found a gooseneck desk lamp at ye olde Goodwill for $2 and my plants/propogations seem pretty happy under it so far, though it’s not been a whole “winter”. I wasn’t looking to spend a whole lot, especially since I have a space I can convert outdoors if need be, though it doesn’t seem necessary so far.
