Yeah I know daylight is about 5500k and there are proper grow lights available with the ideal colour temperatures but I don’t want violet or blue lights in my house. Not even for christmas time 😅 If this light would have come in 5000K I would have taken that but there wasn’t that option. I think this is meant to be more pleasing to the eyes as with unnatural light at 5500K tends to look very cool. I have two studio flashes with modelling lights where the colour temp can be changed between 3000-6000K, but those obviously can’t be used for this purpose. I don’t care how my plants grow, as long as they stay alive 😅

The daylights are definitely very blue, but most of the led grow lights I've seen these days are more pink than violet, if that would work for you.
If you're only worried about them surviving the winter, everything I saw in your picture should be fine without any extra light at all, as long as you water them and don't lock them in a closet 🤣 I've had lemon trees a few years now, and before I got the lights for them they would drop leaves in the winter, but still come back in the spring. With the light they keep their leaves all year round.
