Will a Paph take 24 hrs. light for a few weeks?

[Laserbeak]

Dear Paph Experts,

I'm shooting a time lapse video of a blooming Paph and I'm keeping it illuminated by diffused white halogen light (in a light tent/box). Will this be OK for the plant or is it one of the types that absolutely require a dark period to open their pores and exchange gases? If it is, will it be able to withstand the light for that period of time from a rising bud to a full flower? Or do I need to give it at least 6 hrs. or so darkness per day?

Thanks.
