Cattleya light requirements

[dennis4246]

hello everyone:

I boutght the following Catts from an orchid nursery in Hawaii last fall and have not been able to find culture sheets or light requirements on any of them. I have them under T5 lights that measure 1900 fc at 6" from the tubes. I am getting a new 4ft 8 tube figture next week that puts out 3800 fc. should I move them to the new lights or what should i do. Your comments and suggestins will be greatly appreciated.

Here are the plant names:

BLC mem Anna Balmores 'carmela'
Perpeiraara motes leprechan 'haiju mint'
Pot little toshie ;haiku mint'
Odbrs kenneth bivens 'Santa Barbara'
C. Pupreana cvoerula 'Kodama;
L. purpuata 'Schuster'
Mtssa 'shelob Tolkien'
Dial snowflake x, b 'nodosa;

Thanks
Dennis

I usually google each and sort through all the results. You can try this link Cattleya Orchids, Ceratostylis Orchid care, Orchid Compendium

Orchidwiz is the best but you have to pay.
