I have a pot of a similar Mokara though shorter spikes.

This mokara was under 30% shade when i picked it up from my friend. It has just started to hit maturity so so full sun at this size would really shock the mokara; especially when summer is starting to peak. I added it to my rock garden where it gets full morning sun until midday where it is shaded by a palm where it may get some dappled light and some light from he setting sun during different months of the year, not summer though. When it grows about a foot more if I decide to move it I will allow it to get full sun.
I noticed however that those don't seem to be Mokara. They look like semi-terete vanda by the leaves. If they are, which I think they are then at those sizes they can take full sun. Just don't take them and put them in the full sun like that. Wait for the cooler seasons where the sun & heat isn't so intense so it can transition to the new location. I live in Jamaica so for me I would introduce my semi-terete to full sun in the fall/winter but if you experience cold winters then turn of spring would suit you.
