would these work for bookshelf orchids?

I just came across these at Lowes and they seem to be my best option for supplemental lighting. Which types of orchids should I focus them on? I currently have all my plants on a bookshelf at a 90* angle to an east facing window, no direct light but lots of light from white walls and a few sunny days (I'm in central Ohio).

The link I provided is for under cabinet lighting. Height of the two fixtures is pretty close, .75" for the LED versus 1.5" for the fluorescent. 18" refers to the length of the shelves/fixture. Installation is basically the same, and if money is an issue, it's 1/3 the cost.......
