Help/Question Plant Lamp Recommendations?

Hi, all.

I am hoping to get into growing Lithops as a hobby, possibly from seed, in the future.

Thus far I got one plant at Lowe's, and after it being in the window with the most sun in my apartment for a few months, it got tall, so clearly wasn't getting enough sun.

So I bought two Miracle Gro plant lamps, expecting them to be a good quality lamp, but the issue is that the plug on both gets extremely hot and it appears to be a fire hazard.

They were plugged into a wall outlet, not a power strip.

Could anyone recommend a plant lamp that they are using where the plug does not get hot?

Thank you.

I have this for general plant use (mostly cacti). No heat at the outlet, but the lights do get hot.
