96W AHSupply fixture / Advice?
 
Does anyone have any experiance with AHSupplies 96W fixture and how much light that it puts out? I'd like to know what types of orchids would do well under this amount of light. I'm placing an order for two fixtures already to place over 4 Vivs with bromeliads and orchids and was planning on order an additional 2 to place on a wire rack stand.
I am hoping to have them, one each, 24"-30" above each of the two shelves of the new stand. This stand won't have Phals. or Paphs. on it. I would like to have some of the taller orchids or higher light requirements on this stand. Would I be better of with one 96W or two, side by side? Is 96W Overkill? Should I go with 55W?
I've been a lurker on this board for some time and didn't think of posting this question here. AHSupply recomended that I post it here. Seems that they have quite a few customers on this board!
Any advice would definately be appreciated!

Sorry I didn't see this post earlier. I don't see the need for such an expense. For the same money you can get a 48" 2 tube t5 (I've never heard of a t6) fixture. For a bit more, a 4-tube is possible. Better light.
