Default Lights for growing cattleyas

Apologies if this question has been asked before. I'm new here and new to growing orchids under lights. I've spent a good amount of time going through the forum and other sites trying to find the answers and feel a little overwhelmed. So thought maybe I should ask a more direct question. I have a lot of experience growing endemic Vandas and Dendrobiums but this was when I lived in Sri Lanka (very strong light and high humidity)

I have a Cattleya that I would like to bloom (would probably be adding more). Currently the leaves are dark green which suggests to me the plant needs more light. It does look happy. Plenty of roots and two new pseudobulbs. My apartment gets very little light. Direct sunlight is limited from 10-11.30am and then its shade. I have some Phals that seem to like it however and they have bloomed well. I would like to setup some artificial lights and need some recommendations.

I would like to stick with LED's (no CFL's please). Going through the forum it looks like some of you like the ikea VÄXER lights? Are these good for Catts? Any links or recommendations will be very welcome.
