I mean it always depends what you want to do (how much light you need, what area you want to cover, where you want to put the lights)..
I used this kind to grow chili plants from seed (I got longer ones, longer "tubes" I mean, but connect-able in the same way) - and they were ideal for rows of little pots with chili seedlings / small plants.
The initial cost / energy consumtion was good, these led tubes used to be a lot cheaper though, I think I paid about half of a couple years ago, but after the pandemic the price increased significantly.
So this is rather low-power, but good for steady (long-hours) light, also you can put them really close to the plants (which makes them efficient), as they barely get hot at all.

Just wondered about a general vibe from people in flats with them. No point getting one if you have to make them so low as to be pointless.
I have been living in a number of flats in the past two decades, which have been really quite different in regards to how much of an issue noise / music was. Both because of the buildings were different and because of the neighbours were different.
Regarding bass it really depends a lot on the thickness of the walls / whether it's brick and mortar or drywall etc. (more mass absorbs more bass : )
At the moment I live somewhere with a lot of drywall, and also wooden floors, this is basically the worst combinaton.
Isolating your speakers (subwoofer in your case) does help a lot though!I agree with timmah that a soundbar will probably be a nice upgrade for you already.

In the end a lot of it depends on your cat, as (you will be aware) they're not all the same..
The main thing about litter boxes is you have to keep them clean or they'll go elsewhere, so either need to scoop out the clumpy stuff regularly or get an automatic cat pooping machine for £749.
Some cats can be "trained" to actually use scratching posts instead of your sofa etc. - it's worth a shot.
Ours didn't like hammocks.
Comfy (warm!) chill areas are always a hit, some say cats enjoy dark blue stuff there (blankets etc.)If you have time and money I'd really suggest building / buying some cool cat furniture so they can walk / climb around the flat!

Regarding True Detective..
..my theory is that a lot of people can't really get over the fact that S01 was absolutely awesome, S02 very lukewarm in comparison, S03 was good but not for everybody I guess - and now there's the fourth season, and you still won't get the back the high that S01 gave you.
I love the new season. To be honest the only thing I don't like about it is the poster.
That opening sequence felt a bit odd the first seconds (due to the song, mainly), but I soon realized it just is a very different thing compared to S01, also it's really 2024 now, not 2014 any more, the world has turned. -
The first one you mentioned sounds best out of the three.
Given this is your / your OH's first time caring for a cat I'd suggest getting one that isn't too sick to be frank - I think it's wonderful that you're even considering getting a cat with health issues in the first place, but an animal needing daily meds / one that has severe issues will most likely be too much.
