And also why sitting plants "near a window" is not really likely to garner much success unless they are pretty well IN the window. Also why an office desk is a horrible place for a plant. Light is important to consider, but yo0u also have to consider direction of light, duration of light, intensity of light, and angle of light. I bloom Cattleyas under t-8 (anmd back in the day even T-12s!) but I do keep the leaves within 4" of the bulbs.
The human eye is pretty good at making dim lighting look brighter to our mind than it is.
