I agree with the rest, your setup looks great to me! I'm an indoor grower too (most of the year) and grow in about the same temperature and humidity range you do. My orchids don't complain.
Only during very cold winters, when I need to heat a lot, I use my humidifier to keep humidity between 50-60, seems to be OK for the orchids.
When it gets hot indoors I have a fan running in rooms where I have the orchids. I love a ceiling fan for that purpose as the air movement is constant but not overwhelming. I think it's enough to avoid stagnant air and helps to move away the hot air that comes from the windows.

*I love how you mounted the lights in your windowsill!* Good job!

Thanks for taking a look and sharing your experience. I'm going to start with fans. I read about a window grower who raised his humidity by pointing his fans at his humidity trays. Maybe it's like a breeze over the ocean. If that isn't enough, I'll get a humidifier.
