Fluorescent lighting
Since you are planning to grow under the lamps 12 months - I would
change the bulbs 1 every 6 months.. Or at least a month a part as you
have started them at the same time. Sometimes the change of all the
bulbs at once is a SHOCK and sometimes they are so secondary that it
is no more different than the change in day length. I am assuming
they are the major light for this group of plants.
Your Den's probably need a dry rest in the fall and winter months to
initiate bloom.

Hi Sue and thanks ... the lights are meant to supplement natural
lighting, and enhance it.
You mentioned "...Den's probably need a dry rest in the fall and
winter months to
initiate bloom." I thought Dendrochilum's didn't rest, but grew all
year?
