Default Correct light levels for orchids

I have a meter for the weekend and I am measuring the light of my set up it varies quite a bit by location from 200 ppfd to 1000 ppfd.

Masdevallias are near the lower light areas and cattleyas are in the higher light areas with paph/phrags/max/dendrochilium/onc in between.

It is a mix of fluorescent, led fluorescent, and led panels that are blue/red with a few uv/ir/green mixed in.

Blooming is my problem but light levels seem high enough...right?

What is correct levels for various orchids?

Attached are an example minicat, dendrochilum, and masdevallia.
