Replacing what lights you do have in your room with these can help:

Adjustable desk lamps work great in a pinch as they can be positioned and turned to focus light on the greenscreen and are small enough to keep out of camera shot.

That one would look better but it still has UV so it still is a safety risk.

I don’t know what brand of bulbs I use but I’ve used bulbs similar to these with great success

Most normal led bulbs for human use will work for plants too.

The only difference is that the spectrum of grow lights is distorted in an attempt to be more efficient but the science behind that is not good.

To get technical. The main light absorbing molecule in plants is chlorophyll which absorbs red and blue light really well. These companies tune their grow lights to that to avoid wasting energy on light that the plan won’t consume as easily. But... there are other light absorbing molecules in plants as well and it looks like broad spectrum white light has benefits for overall plant health.

Edit: I don’t want to imply that those purple lights don’t work. I have/use a few different brands of them just not in a living space. I have also noticed improvements in plant health once I started supplementing them with white light.

Here is a thread from a different gardening sub with some good info

Honestly, that's not a lot of light at all, and could very well be the root of your problem. Most especially if you're just using a regular 60 or 100 watt bulb.

This is what you should be using at a minimum, which is about 3x the lumens output of a standard household bulb.

A 4K camera is going to greatly magnify every single bad issue, especially with poor lighting.
