fluorescent light - Questions

[Singingirl96]

Hello. I currently own 30+ orchids (phals, paphs, cats and dens). I have them in east and west windows. All my paphs, phals and dens rebloom fine. My cats on the other hand need a little more help. I have 6 and only 2 have rebloomed.

So I thought about adding a strip or two of fluorescent lights on the wire shelf where they are.

Question: I have 2 fish tank light hoods that I was thinking about using. What type of lightbulbs should I use? Should I get standard lightbulbs or are they special lightbulbs?

I looked at my local pet store and they have all kinds of sunlight lightbulbs that would fit on my hood. Can I get any suggestions from you on what to get? Thanks.
