Once when I lived in an apartment I used to grow orchids (smaller 
varieties) in a closet under fluorescents.  It was a wide but shallow entry 
closet with louvered folding doors and I used a small fan to keep the air 
moving.  In this case it was to keep the cats from munching.  It did work 
adequately but I doubt I could have grown anything as large as a cattleya. 
 Watering was definitely a problem.  OTOH, no trouble keeping the humidity 
up.   I have an HID in the basement now and I don't think I'd try it under 
such confined conditions.
