Default My Grow Room: Comments/Advice?

This is a pic of the new lights and trays setup I just I put in for my orchids (and a jade plant ). I was wondering what you pros thought of it, and advice you could give if any is needed.

The rig:
-2x 6400K Sun Blaster Full-Spectrum grow lights (unfiltered)

-Two trays filled with stones:
-#1: with water for humidity for the Phals and a thirsty Oncidium.
-#2: Dry stones for the Dends, gigantic Catt, and Jade Plant

-Small vacillating fan for air distribution and evaporation (located next to the wet tray)

-Located in the bathroom (high humidity) above the washer/dryer

My thoughts so far:
I put this in a few months ago, and so far the plants seem to really like it. The lights generate VERY little heat and so I don't worry about burning too much, even with the Cattleya reaching for the sky and many blooms being fairly close to the source at the moment. I usually spray the overgrown oncidiums once a day, and water once a week.

Thoughts/Concerns for a newbie? I'm pretty excited about the new lighting setup
