With 4 plants, I agree that you don't need anything fancy and a screw in bulb would be sufficient.

SANSI make some good quality, full spectrum led bulbs and they've been recommended on the forum a couple times. My sister has some for her small orchid collection in the winter, and in the spring they are used for starting tomatoes. SANSI bulbs are readily available on amazon UK. Amazon.co.uk: SANSI
The 15W or 24W variants would proably be enough for low-medium light orchids, especially if you use it as supplemental light.

Link seems to be gone? The word 'bulb' is hightlighted like a link, but there's no website behind it. Strange.
