I'm not surprised you saw burning with D. cuthbertsonii, as it's not really a high-light plant. If anything, I'd put it near-, to slightly below cattleyas in their requirements. The might tolerate higher, but must be kept quite cool to tolerate that.
As far as the schoenorchis are concerned, I'd put them closer to paphs levels.

Ray, that's interesting. I have an ascocentrum pumilum at home in bright conditions. I love the plant. Do you have this ascocentrum in full sun?

That orchid is stunning, I almost purchased that before. How I wish I had room for that in my collection. I have 4 tanks right now, and I'm thinking of getting a 5th one to put my "regular" sized orchids in (all my tanks have minis and micro-minis). I think I'm going to put that orchid in there once that tank is able to afford itself lol.

Coconuts, thank you. I will see if I can reach them. If not, I would immensely appreciate your help.

Also, some of the Sophronitis might be able to handle the light - like S. cernua or S. mantiqueirae (I grow these pretty bright)

I love ascocentrums. I have three right now. I think I'll have to do some more research on this genus. Thanks for your help!
