Default New to Orchids and Looking for a cheap grow led

I have done outdoor bonsai for a long time, but never attempted anything indoor and definitely not something that flowers.

I bought my wife a few Orchids for mother's day not realizing how long they can live if cared for properly. We live in the US in the deep south so lots of humidity and the Orchids being 3 ice cube orchids I believe between the weekly ice cubes and constant 100% humidity pulled in to much moisture and within a few week the flowers were dead but the plant is alive and well. I have been reading and watching a lot of videos to self educate and learn more about the orchid because they challenged me so much with the flowers demise.

That being said, we have a toddler and I do not believe anywhere near a window would be safe for the plants to receive indirect light. I want to put them on a bookshelf, but would need a grow light so are there any cheap LED options ($20-$50) you guys have had good luck with? I see some hardware stores have a 2ft non-demable whith full spectrum, but have read where you also need the red spectrum for better flowering. What have you guys had success and what do you suggest I try as a noob to this?
Thanks in advance!!
