Would 18W LED Grow Light help out my normally sun starved sarracenia?

I have an apartment with moderate sun in the morning through eastward balcony; over past week, my sarracenia has been in a relative’s garden and the direct sunlight has really helped it. 

I was wondering whether a grow light would help it maintain good growth and strong stems if used during the night in the apartment as otherwise it will only get 4 hours direct sun in the morning on the balcony or living room windowsill. 

Have previously used an 18W LED Grow Light on bonsai and it did a good job so was hoping it would on the sarracenia also. 

as said, it already gets direct sun in morning so it’s only necessary later in the day. 

Thankyou!

It's not a good idea to keep the light on during the night, because plants also like to sleep. If the light is on, they never know it's night time, and they tire themselves out. As silly as it may look, I would just turn on the light during the day. Is the plant really starved for light?
