My end of the office also gets cooler the the rest of the office I will have to figure out temps as well. But as far as lights....I have these crappy dull T8 lights above me.....I have been thinking of offering to buy my own that would be more beneficial or easier on my eye's....yep my eye's....lol.

Becca, If you were planning on replacing the overhead lights - DON'T! The ballasts are designed for the type of bulb. Now a small desk lamp might work. Try exploring
Full Spectrum Desk Lamps or go down the left side (blue) and try other entries. I use the Blue Max CF bulbs in my grow window upstairs. They're awsum and light up the side of the neighbor's house!

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.)
