OK, here goes (will post pics later today after I take them). I bought a 12foot extension cord at HD and some small plastic light fixtures (sockets) that attach in-line on the cord. I estimated the distance between centers of the two windows and spaced the sockets that far away. I attached the homebrew lighting string to the ceiling with small cable staples and plugged in the cord to a timer. I added a third bulb on its own extension cord that just plugs in when I get up in the morning and I unplug in the evening. That's to simulate changing light intensities as the day progresses. I'll add a couple pics later.

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.)
