exactly what kind of light are we talking about? i.e. which exposure, how far away from the window, etc.

Well, I live on the side of a mountain at the bottom apartment of a duplex. They have a deck on the top one which shades most of the direct light that would have come into the window. I think it is an east window, but I am not sure. It does not have much light at all.

hmmm...might be tough to bloom paphs there. bright shade would be optimal, or some direct morning light. if it's just for a few months the plant will be fine if everything else is in order. might even look nicer with larger, darker green leaves.

You could always add grow lights. A Paph wouldn't need strong lighting to encourage it along.

Mine seem to like a west window and get good light in the afternoon to early evening. You'll know when you hit the right place as they will grow and bloom freely. I also occaisionally will use a grow light when we are in a really shady period like bad weather and no sun. I don't want to loose even a single day of sunshine that may be needed to bloom.
