lights--how much? which kind?

i am really new to this, please help!

right now i am setting up an indoor grow area and need to know which kind of lights to buy
i tried researching online but what i found is confusing because some sites insist that orchids need full spectrum light while others say they do not and that even a few white florescent bulbs would be fine

for the most part i keep low to medium light orchids. i'm not into the cattleyas or the other high light ones.


so for the low to medium light orchids, do you think a single T5 florescent will be enough? i plan to do multiple shelves, so maybe one or two T5 bulbs per shelf

what do you think?
