| Harvester - you just may have enough light for your phal in the bathroom where you have it. The 'very close to the bulb' rule applies mostly to artificial light but is important no matter the source. I say this because I grow my phals in my dining room 6 feet from a very large, 6'X8' southern window. Per my light meter, they get no where near the light they need, yet grow and bloom and just look great. They seem to grow well in a very bright location; be careful with the ' little bit of morning sun'. Since phals are a low light orchid I wouldn't chance any direct sun. Update your location and we can better let you know what kind of direct light you have.
