Let me add that you should get a "full spectrum" CFL. These are sold as helpful for Seasonal Affective Disorder. They are supposed to replace sunshine in a human's diet. Try this spot 2 to 200 Watt Compact Fluorescent Bulbs : 1000Bulbs.com The Light Bulb Superstore. for decent prices and lots of sizes. Get the brightest one that will fit your fixture.

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.)
