A few things.

Light levels are critical for a Sharry baby to bloom. Around 2000-2500 not much more or the leaves will brown at the tips.

It is not so critical to keep the plant healthy over the winter. They bloom only once a year at the end of the summer.

A higher level of light is still preferred for the winter. but you should find a shady spot to put it outside this summer.

If you want to use additional lights inside you should look for higher level lights. The 1000 watt lights that use about 100 watts of electric are about right. They are hard to find except on the INTERNET.

A 150 light bulb has to be too close and the heat is then a problem.
