Orchids under fluorescent lighting?

[dlconner]

Hi, i had grow bulbs but they burnt out, or the thingy they were in burned out. whatever they don't work
now i have rigged up this thing to try and grow my orchids. i don't know if it's the same or if it will work. hence the post.
i have two GE 42 Watt (150 watt equivalent) bulbs and three GE 26 watt (100 wt equivalent) the two big bulbs burn yellowishy and the three smaller ones burn bright white. there are 5200 lumens total of the yellowish light and 4800 total of the whitish. grand total of 10,000 lumens. i don't know if the spectrum is correct, though or if that is even enough intensity. what is degrees K? i saw others talking about it on another forum. how do i determine that? how long should my lights be on? how close to the plants should they be? etc. etc. there has to be enough light in here to grow SOMETHING. but i heard orchids need red spectrum, which i'm sure is absent in the "daylight" bright white bulbs.
these are all fluorescent that you would screw into an ordinary light bulb socket. like old incandescent. so help me out if you can.
thanks.
