I sort of have the same questions. The light drops below a bunch of trees so I get nothing but indirect light in winter. I don't think its close to 6000fc - probably more like 2000 midday - which is sort of perfect for me...
the short days are a problem though. I supplement with 2 LEDs (240W (i think) blackstar lamps). but this is pretty new. The plants have appreciated the extra light though. If you are getting 6000 during the day, I wouldn't worry too much. I am trying to get 11 hour days, and not all the plants are getting the supplemental light - my Cattelyas are just on the edge - I just rely on their food storage mechanism to get through the winter, same with my Cyms.
We'll see how my paphs / bulbos / pleuros do.
