I've wondered this myself. I've hard that V. coerulea and hybrids with heavy coerulea in them are slightly cooler growing and don't need quite as much direct sunlight. I don't know for sure, as I don't have one...but that's what I've seen. I also think Ascocendas don't want direct sunlight as much, either...The standard sized, true Vandas, as far as I know, are the ones that need nearly full sun. I do believe that you can acclimate practically any vandaceous orchid to full sun with the right care, though. I hope somebody else who is knowledgeable on this weighs in.
