| Bright indirect | Score around 60-79 usually maps to bright indirect light. | Confirm final placement with a lux meter app. |
| Full sun / very bright | Score 80+ usually maps to full sun or very bright exposure. | West and afternoon exposure can scorch thin leaves. |
| Low light | Score below about 35 maps to low light. | Choose tolerant plants or add grow light support. |
