I don't know. Maybe, it's possible.
Some Antelope Dens burn under too bright a light. That's why I mentioned to Anne that they were general requirements, not specific ones. They are specific to Antelope Dens, but not specific to each species or hybrid.
Dendrobium stratiotes, (which was the one I messed up with), grows in Onc to Cattleya type light very well. It did terribly under Vanda type light.
Most Antelopes I've grown cannot be grown as bright as a Vanda, but many can take Cattleya type light quite well.

Pot's too big, and it's grown in moss.
Reduce pot size drastically. Use a clear plastic pot, (either homemade or store bought). Use medium grade bark.
Do not use moss with these kinds of Dendrobiums. They like a lot of air around the roots.
