Phalaenopsis like bright indirect sunlight. They should never be exposed to strong direct sunlight or leaf burn will result. Light for Phalaenopsis should be adjusted to provide 10-20% of full sun depending on which part of the county in which you live. If you have a light meter, it should read from 800 to 1500 F.C. (foot candles). If a meter is unavailable, you can judge the amount of light by touching the leaves to see how warm the feel. The leaves should feel warm but not hot. Over time, leaf color is a good indication of whether or not the plant is receiving the proper amount of light. Leaves should be medium green for the plant to bloom. If the leaves are more yellow, move the plant to a shadier area. If the leaves are a deep green, the area is probably too dark, and the plant may have a problem reflowering unless it is moved to a brighter location.
