Default Advice on orchid lights

I have a T8 fixture with 2, four foot fluorescent grow light tubes in them. (Not sure of wattage or brand) I have it hanging around 8 to 6 inches above my 2 phals & pah. delenatii. Is this sufficient light for them to bloom?

I bloom delenatii and phals under the 1 T8 I still have. You'll have to move them when they spike, The bloom will blast if it stays in contact with the bulbs. You should have no problems as far as light goes.
