Default Are these lights enough?
I plan to go with 2x terra save HO 39w for a 100 x 50 x 70 CM orchidarium.

Will this be sufficient, and how do i calculate the distance between my plants and the light to be good enough?

They produce 3500 lumen in the 100 x 50 x 70 tank is it enough?

It probably depends of plants you are planing to grow there. Hopefully someone with more technical lighting skills will chime in soon.

Yes it does, but im not sure how to interpret these light levels.

Appearantly each 39W lamp produces 3500 lumen.

The light spectrum on the lamps is color 865, he also has 840 which are more towards the yellow, is the 865 suitable?

Need to decide before monday
