I'm very new to orchid growing and I'm in need of lighting help. In the near future I plan to purchase 3 or 4 Phapeopedlium orchids. I will be growing themon a 3' x 3' table which is located adjacent to a south facing window. I've already determined that there's not enough natural light available by using a light meter. Given my space constraints, I would like to know if a 24" T5 Biax Light would provide me with the necessary light to effectively growth the Phap orchids. I've attached an ebay listing which shows the light that I'm looking into.

Thanks for your help.
