Compact Florescent Lights - Incandescent replacement Globes any good?

[ipv6ready]

Two similar related questions;
Oh I am in Sydney Australia My first post so if this should be posted else way in the forum feel free to move.

1.A newbie question for sure, but here goes. I live in an apartment in southern hemisphere which gets morning direct sun for only three hours on the balcony facing east west from 7am to 10am. After that it is only shady incidental light (fuzzy shadows only). Though I do get 1 hour from 6 to 7pm afternoon sun reflected off a building in front. Do you think I need to supplement my plants with lights in my balcony?

FYI. All orcids are recent acquisitions, and from what I have read on the web it seems to be getting enought light as the Cyms are giving me an indication that they are getting enough light as they are slight yellow green. I was given one and bought one.

One was dark green (given to me) that never flowed and the other which I bought had light yellow green leaves, which had beautiful flowers. Both the leaves now look the same slight yellowish bright green. So I presume the cyms are getting enough light and by that I hope my Dens and Onc as well. Or should I get some lights installed around the balcony?

PS: the balcony “wall” is clear glass so all the sunlight lights get through while blocking much of the wind normal in a high rise.

2. In my bedroom I want to use CFL -> standard incandescent globe replacement?

Is this very different to T5, T8 etc. I have goggled but all / mostb refer to standard T4 t8 sontnar, high powered lights etc.

In this room I get about 2 hours of early morning direct sunlight after that only incidental light.

So I plan to use three 23watt 125watt equivalent gloves for like 8 hours a day to supplement my Dends Nobiles.
Are CFL any good?

I have a floor lamp that has movable three hoods, I plan to use, one cool white 2700K and warm white 6700K plus one other depending on advice, would this give my dends enough light?

Just in case what I mean by CFL is the standard globe replacement that go into standard light socket, nothing any special.

Thanks in advance from Sydney Aust.
