Hi Meviva,
I am a newbi and just joined this site so my comment should be taken as such but I have successfully bloomed paphs., both species and hybred, with 2 - 8" 6100K and 1- 8" 3000K total wattage of 18 watts. They don't need much light and for a 12-14 hour photo period certainly not anything like 1000 - 1500 foot candles. My research suggests that 350-500 foot candles for 10-14 hours is plenty, although it probably won't hurt to give them more that. In nature they would not get those higher, 1000 - 1500, levels for very long each day.
