Question on led lights for indoors

I would say no.
Too much hassle.
You'd need to bypass the PIR Sensor to keep it permanently on and get a far Bigger battery to make it run 24 hours and place the solar panel outside in an optimum position to get sunlight or rig up an ac to dc power adapter.
It needs the Sun to charge it and it has a spectrum of 8000k - 10000k - far to much blue.
Some people might use that spectrum with a metal halide as a finishing light near the end of flowering.
Ideally you want 2700k - 3500k spectrum for flowering and 3500k - 5000k for vegging.

I'd like to ask, hps and this light together for the same plant?
I getting a 400watt hsp, maybe I could use both on them. Just from different angle.

Hps from top to bottom, the led from the side going 45 degrees downwards.
Just finished super cropping, will take her indoors soon since winter is coming in madagascar.

Yes if you bypass the PIR Sensor

Also the 400w hps will be enough that light won’t give you anything near enough to be worth the time messing with it a 400hps can yield you a pound with experience
Is there a possibilty, not from the heat but, could this led light could actually hurt the plant.
It's made in China, even the 8000k could be fake, who knows

you might be able to veg with it, I've been thinking about 4000k mono led about 240w to supplement 1000w se hps hydrlux on mover for fig trees and other plants and autos. I used to use metal halide for grow thirty something years ago, the mix was nice all the way through. Be careful because you'll fry them, if seedlings id keep light as far as I could. My plants were started under 1000w hps and when I got 600w led plant took a long time to get used to it, I was 3 weeks into flower before I got it all the way to max, no dimmer on those, you could attach potentiometer too it and run it low.

I understood only 50% of your words lol.
This is literally my first plant without having any knowledge on growing, I found out about super cropping the day before lol.
But one day I'll know what you're talking about.
Thank you man.
