Very small LED or CFL grow light?
Default Very small LED or CFL grow light?

I'm going off to college in the fall, and I'd like to take some aspect of the orchid-growing hobby with me, as it's great for calming my nerves and I have a feeling my nerves will need calming very frequently.

Trouble is, I'm assuming the windowsill lighting will suck, so I'll need to bring artificial light. Additional trouble is, the rules about what electrical devices I can bring are very restrictive, due to old wiring in the buildings and a fire marshal who bans anything (excluding essentials like coffee pots and laptops) that could possibly have any tiny potential of causing a fire. I have to get anything not on the approved list approved via Email, so I'm trying to find something they'll approve. I've already sent a couple of asks about relatively small LED fixtures, but I was informed that both were somehow fire hazards.

Therefore, I'm looking for either a palm-sized LED light fixture, or a CFL bulb that I could put into one of those little desk lamp setups. If I can find something suitable, I'd really like to have a tiny (square foot or so) Hydrolon 'living wall' covered in mini orchids, but I don't have any particular species in mind. I'd just like tiny orchids, preferably ones with adorable mini pseudobulbs and/or a growth habit that makes it look like a shrunken version of a larger orchid.


TL;DR, anyone know of a very small LED setup or a CFL bulb that can meet the lighting requirements of at least shade-tolerant mini orchids?
