Anguloa (virginalis) culture - light?

Hello,

I've acquired an Anguloa virginalis and am researching how to grow it.

Cool-cold, no dry rest, in nature a terrestrial - all good.

But! lol -

Here is what AOS says about the genus:
"Almost direct sun in summer and as much sun as you can give it in winter, remembering that they need cooler temperatures."

Here's what the Baker culture sheet says about virginalis, specifically:
"LIGHT: 1500-2500 fc. Light should be somewhat filtered or diffused, and
plants should not be exposed to direct midday sun. Strong air movement
should be provided at all times."

1500-2500 fc is a big range.

Thoughts?

 

Unfortunately cultural conditions may or may not even matter at this point. I've had a disappointing experience with a South American vendor who was at Pacific Orchid Exposition in San Francisco in February (not one of the better known ones). This plant's leaves starting turning yellow and then brown, mostly along the center vein and starting at the leaf tip and progressing very rapidly to the base of the leaf, and then the leaves have all fallen off. This condition was present at pickup and advanced rapidly (despite treatment with a copper anti-fungal/bacterial). I'm left with a plant with 3 pseudobulbs and that's it, though at least those PBs aren't soft and squishy so maybe it can regenerate with some TLC. Though I'm not holding my breath.

(p.s. 4/5 plants, and not particularly inexpensive ones, from this vendor were/are compromised/diseased, to a degree beyond normal int'l travel and shipping stress. I think I'm cured of ordering plants from So. American vendors.)
