What lights to use in a lightstand for orchids?
 
I was at Home Depot the other day and saw numerous 48 inch, 40 watt
flourescent bulbs with names like DAYLIGHT, SUNSHINE, COOL WHITE PLUS
and SOFTWHITE. I bought one each of NATURAL SUNSHINE and SOFTWHITE
Here are the specs on these
"NATURAL SUNSHINE"
LUMENS 2200
COLOR RENDERING 92
COLOR TEMPERATURE 5000K
"SOFTWHITE"
LUMENS 3300 (brigher)
COLOR RENDERING 85 (not as accurate on colors)
COLOR TEMPERATURE 3000K (a little more red?)
Help - did I do the right thing?
