Dumb Grow Light Question

I know this could kinda carry over to Palms in Pots, but I know a bunch of us start and overwinter with grow bulbs. So anyway, having said that - 

 

What constitutes "full sun" from an Led grow light? My setup ain't fancy - it's not the worst I've seen on here, but I do have some of the finest lightbulbs you can buy for $15. I think I'm getting some sunburn on my Licuala, but then again it could be long term signs from neglect. I also need to rearrange because I didn't anticipate things growing this fast. 

 

Anyway, what constitutes full sun equivalency? Is it the brightness of the bulb? The proximity to the plants? The amount of time they're left on every day? I'm not fancy, there's no timers except on the Chinese clip-on lamps and I never learned how to work those.

There are no dumb questions in life. Mistakes are costly and advise is free. The only drawback is if you ask a silly question you a get silly answer. And your question is not silly by any means. Any supplemental light is better than none. I do the same with a cheap led light.
