$16 isn't THAT expensive...
I'd recommend getting a cheap lux meter (like this. You can also get apps for your phone sensors that will give an estimate (usually at least the right order of magnitude) of the light output.
Sounds like that species likes decent shade, but "shade" can still mean a lot brighter than some T5 bulbs, and it heavily depends on their distance from the plant.
It may also be picky about the spectrum that it's getting. Any idea what color temperature your bulbs are? "Full spectrum" or not? Fluorescents have a pretty mediocre spectral distribution, not generally as good as black body radiation or LEDs. Example. Since most tropical understory plants that I've seen are generally very picky about everything, I'm guessing this one isn't much different.
No problem, in fact as u/mondoman712 says apps exist that use the ambient light sensor for incident metering; but I'm on android and I think the wide variety of hardware give quite inconsistent readings, for what I've tested at least
In any case no thoughts regarding the light meters i mentioned?

Hi all. I have a seagull camera from the 1950s that I bought in a Shanghai flea market. It looks like this:

I have used it for years successfully by guessing the exposure, or using a digital camera to verify.
I bought a light meter thinking I would simply input my film ISO and then get a reading of the F stop and shutter speed, but the meter I bought produces a number called "lux"
Try as I may I cannot find any way on the internet to translate that number into a way to expose my shots properly. Help!
The meter looks like this:

Thanks!!
Yeah, sorry, I tried a couple phone apps too. They didn't agree with each other or with the meter I bought later. I got this one for $20 (doesn't look available now), maybe try this $14 one?
