Not sure if this is the right place to post but here comes.

Wherever I go and read about orchids everyone has a different opinion about light wheter artificial or sunlight.

Some say that phals burn if exposed and to direct light and some state that they grow just as fine. I read that Vanda coerulea species don't need direct light and do fine with just a little and that other species need alot. I can't find any proper scientific data on daylenghts concerning these plants. How much light a day does these plants expect. i read 12 hours of direct light a day but some sources state 6 or even 3. Im getting confused here and doing something stupid may just kill my plant for good. And in the case of articial light. How far are the plants away from that lightsource. In the case of real sunlight. What would be the best window direction concerning vanda with loads of coerulea in them. What is the least amount of sunlight these plants can take and what is the max in daylight hours?
Does anyone have foto's of light setups concerning vanda coerulea species (sansai blue or even mikassa). All I need right now is getting the light right and somehow it doesn't work out well yet
How can I also see that a vandaceous specie is reacting properly on the light given to it (except for the blooming offcourse). What is worser? Too much light or too little. What will happen with too little and what if too much (leaf color, roots, growing, dropping leaves).

If I hang a vanda coerulea specie in front of a northwest window in summer will I have enough light for flowering it.

Lots of annoying questions srry for that. but concerning this plant I am a total beginner
