Stars luminance doesn´t say a lot about the distance of the habitable zone to the star. If the star is an orange dwarf, the habitable zone would be closer in then the one of an F-main sequence star, this isn't related to the luminosity, but the heat coming from the star. The wavelength of the star is probably K, G or F main sequence star, if it was G or F, 4546b would be far too close to its star to be in the habitable zone. I'm unsure if a K main sequence star could have a planet that close to it. But... theres another possibility: the star could be an orange or yellow giant/subgiant star, which would make it far more luminant, but not hotter. It is possible that 4546 is not a main sequence star at all, but a giant or subgiant. There is even a candidate for what it might actually be based on: HR4546. Yes, 4546. HR-4546 is a K3III, an orange giant, which makes it a possible analog for the 4546 which is ingame.
