Best grow lights for Venus fly traps? They live on my windowsill but my window is north-west facing. Ideally one with a stand. Thank you!

I like sansi bulbs and I like the clamp lamps that have the silver shade. The ones that are used for reptiles. Get either a 24w or 36w, the 10w are better for typical houseplants. I have a couple nepenthes in my NW window and they are happy with the 24w bulbs. My flytraps live on my porch and they get 6+ hours of direct sunlight thru a screen. They are pretty hardy too and survived being frozen a few times during cold snaps. I’m in zone 8b on the east coast and only a couple hours from where they grow in the wild.
