Welcome to the forum. :)
I don't do marine, so can't be very helpful, but how temporary would this be?
Do you have any room/table lamps you could use immediately?

That light is a 'grow light' and has the wrong colour spectrum for marine.

Do you keep corals, and if so what sort? Softies? LPS? SPS?

If its a softy tank then any generic 'marine' light will do the trick ( as they should be in the 12000k range )

What make of light have you got?

That one you've seen, I don't think that's a very bright idea, sorry, couldn't resist it :$ but the shop listed on ebay 'Based in China, btgogo123 has been an eBay member since 23 May, 2017 you'll be waiting a awful long time for that delivery.

You have to be careful with some ebay dealers claiming to be based in London when there not. :dodgy2:
