Default Need guidance & wisdom

Hello guys!

So I want to be able to grow any orchids under artificial light and need guidance. I am planning to buy a couple of young orchids and grow them for a couple of months then transfer them into a DIY vivarium (4ft X 2ft X 2ft). In the tank there will be not only orchids but nepenthes and one or two vanilla orchids. I did some reading before hand and learned a lot but have run into a wall of whether I have enough light or not for high light species I might want. I would love thoughts on my plan before I buy anything and dodge any pitfalls other members have run into. I have yet to design the vivarium and will post the plans once I finish.

Orchids & Others
-Dendroibium
-Vanda
-Paphiopedilum
-Vanilla Orchid
-Miltonias
-Bulbophyllum
-Nepenthes

Orchids I plan to order from Olympic Orchids
Dendrobium formosum
Zygopabstia Dragon kitten
Onicidium Heaven's Delight
More fragrant Orchids

Option 1:
T5 HO Fixture
Used T5 HO 4ft 4 Lamps from Durolux for 62$

T5 HO Fixture
Used T5 HO 4 Ft 4 lamps from Tek PRO for 80$

Will be using this LED Tube :
T5 LED Bulb - AgroMax 6400K

Option 2:
CSHITO 150W LED Flood Lights Outdoor, Waterproof IP65, 12000LM, Daylight
