Default Having a hard time managing obligated hot/warm orchid temperature

now that my collection has doubled from last year thanks to me being impulsively curious in cooler growing orchids. I'm trying to twist my head around on what to do with them when the upcoming warmth is approaching.

I have a few warm and cool orchids and many intermediate cattleyas/oncidiums. Two obligated warm grower (paph/Pleurothallis/bulbophyllum) and two obligated cool grower (draculas) that require high humidity.

From what I understand, lower elevation orchid that like to stay warm dont need the big gap of temperature drop at night so I assume they dont mind staying in my green tent year round with the only changes are the seasons.

I will keep my cooler orchids like dracula and odontoglossum outdoor this spring where the temperature remain safely around 50s low until summer they go into the cool tent indoor.

Intermediate orchids confuse me, I left most of my mine outdoor this year it seems they are doing ok so far. I suppose I will just give them less light in the summer as insurance. I treat them like cool orchids but with brighter light.

One thing that I want to confirm is that I need to give obligated warm orchids like paph leuchochilum less light in winter while cool orchids like masdevallia/cymbidium more light in winter? My climate is mediterranean
