Which light?
Default Which light?

Hi,
I have one orchid: Orchid 1 - Google Photos

I put it by a window all day and move it under a lamp from sunset to midnight for additional light.

I would like to stop the routine of moving it.
My ideas are:
Get a light with a timer and either move orchid permanently to table and use lamp as main light all day and turn it off during night — although there are other ambient lights in same room — incandescent lamp and tv.

So that will the now expanded hours to more “daylight hours,” maybe a few extra hours, and mostly from lamp.

The gist is: tired of moving it twice a day and have not enough (I’m guessing) sunlight to leave it window only.

First I thought I’d leave it by window and add light simultaneously, if there’s a way to get it to the table with a light with a timer...

What light should I get and how many hours should it be on?

Thank you!

ps. I only need one light — I see nice dual-headed ones, but I only need one! ...with a timer that has a battery!
