The plants would benefit from better light, but removing the globe does not increase LUX intensity, and can create ‘hot spots’, and is not recommended.
You’ve done well with household bulbs, but spend no more on them. Save for a true grow light and you will be thrilled with your purchase. 👍
New lights should help a lot. If you get more, I'd recommend soft white for flowering to get some red in there. At a guess, those look like daylight which are most appropriate for veg.
Good progress!
