Are there any hydroponics shops near you? Talk to them about grow lights.

I bought one of these after being prompted by an engineer in our local orchid society. Three of us now have bought one. It needs careful cleaning but works well. The manual is available online.

The device seems interesting but the big problem of orchid growers (I mean those who grow plants in the house) is the light. You grow plants to watch them, not to hurt your eyes. Color is harmful to the human eye. Maybe you may find something with many white LEDs, including blue 430nm and red 660nm.

Or, just use HO T5s. It's far more attractive in a living space. Amazon has some good ones at decent prices. I just picked up another 4 lamp unit last week!

Lots of blooms under mine @6400k. Also, the sunroom looks good. Some of these lights are just ugly.
