Carrie has to grow it like Phals, as this is her main inventory. They actually prefer higher light, more like Cattleya light levels.
Last summer I tested a couple of Den Phalaenopsis types in full sun (in NJ); it was just a tad too high for them, so I had to bring them back inside the greenhouse. Next summer I will probably erect an outdoor shade table with 20-25% shade for my non-Aussie Dendrobiums (Aussies get full sun).

I totally agree with the full sun experience you have. I left one in full sun for about an hour in August, and it got terribly burnt under the intense California sun. But like I said before they are survivors, now it is putting out a new growth!
