I'd welcome any further input, thanks for the info so far!

Re direct sunlight -- the only sunlight available is late afternoon sun and it gets so warm through the window I'm afraid it might burn the seedlings? Or at the least they will lean a lot. Wonder if the new lighting would be almost as good as sunlight at this point?

I think it is like checking a baby bath water, you put your hand there and if the temp is comfortable for you then likely it will be comfortable for the plant.
