How do you figure the average Kelvin light temperature? If I do a simple average (assuming 4 bulbs - 2ea 6000K and 2ea 3500K) I get about 4800K - a bit on the warm side for daylight. If I figure 3ea daylight plus 1ea warm I get about 5400K - almost the same as average sunlight. Just curious and this is why the original question.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
