First time under lights.

[baulou]

I have recently set up an area between my wardrobe and a wall that I'm using for growing orchids. The staging is a steel framed open shelving unit on wheels, and it fits neatly in the space.

On top of the staging is a double tube light used for marine aquariums giving 6,700K of light. On the walls are four slimline fluorescent natural daylight tubes giving 5,000K each. These tubes are placed vertically on the walls, to illuminate the staging from the sides. There is a supplementary clip on lamp for the lower plants. On the bottom shelf is a humidifier. Currently in Japan, where I live, it is very dry (30-40% humidity in winter) and I am maintaining around 50-55% in this environment. A fan a little way away from the staging helps to circulate air.

I would like to know if you think the set up is going to work. I have Epidendrum/Encyclias and some Paphs on the top shelf, Paphs on the middle and Phals on the lower level.
