I think you'll be very happy with the proper VS lamp you've got ordered. The LM301b's and a meanwell driver really does the trick for almost any plant. Pretty sure the driver can be detached from the board and hung somwhere close by but you can look into that later if you're interested. It's just better thermal managment as the driver produces a fair amount on its own.
Small scale lighting is always on my mind too so I get it . Whether it's for seedlings, that one plant that wants a little bit more than the window offers, or the one plant that needs to go on timeout for pests, I always need just a liiittle bit of light where I don't have it.
I'd suggest looking at these unless they're what you're already talking about.
$5.67 at my walmart and the clamp is nice but can be removed if you don't need it. The aluminum reflector can be removed as well so it's just an E26/27 socket to a 2 prong plug. They're what I use and are pretty handy.
Edit: forgot to mention, Amazon has PAR38 LED floodlights from a bunch of manufacturers for $5.00/bulb. May want to look into some of those.
