Question Input on Growbright fixture please

Hello everybody,
I am back to pick your brains again

My wonderful boyfriend is getting a new light fixture for me for Christmas
and I have several questions regarding its capability and installation.

This is a link to the fixture:
HTG Supply - GrowBright 4 Foot 4 Lamp High Output T5 With Choice of Bulbs

A fixture for 4 - 4foot high output T8 lights.
Out of the two bulb choices, I think I would need to use 4 6500K Grow ones. The second choice offered are 3000K bulbs.

My questions are:

Are the 4 6500K bulbs the correct choice or should I choose a combination of the 6500K and 3000K bulbs?

How high above the growing area does this fixture need to be installed?

Am I correct that this light is bright/strong enough for blooming Cattleyas? I would love to add them to my small collection of Orchids.

Your input is greatly appreciated,

Margit

4 6500K would be best. There another thread being discussed right now on this topic as well.

Thank you Paul for your answer.

Does anybody have any input on how high above the growing area to install this light?
Also, I believe this light has enough output for blooming Cattleyas. Is that correct?
