sun is always best but our olive tree has done well with indoor light -- try to take it outside on occasion for fresh air & sunlight -- be consistant with watering schedule

It's not super bright...I still need natural light and overhead light to use it.

Should do just fine in nyc. Mine is doing very well with filtered light and never gets direct sunlight. The temperature stays around 70 inside.dont see any problems for you

It depends on where you were going to use it. If its the only light source in a large room then maybe not enough. Ours is abouve our bed and its enough. Without the shade im sure it would look fine with the right bulb.

Mine is on my shed. Under a big Maple Tree. Gets direct sun maybe 3 hrs if that. Still works great.

I have these lights and I have them on my back porch which faces west. There are lots of trees and obstructed sun. My lights seem to work into the wee hours of the morning. My suggestion is to place the solar panel in a southerly direction to maximize its ability to collect light.

The low light will not allow the tree to grow further or produce fruit. It will go dormant. It will then grow again when it can get the medium light.

sun light its easy to see, in the shade its a little harder. you can use the light.

I would say that depends upon your local climate and your expectation. Will work either way but slower with more shade...?

I don't know and I'm not climbing the tree in the middle of winter to find out. I will say it works fine but at 10 hour flood the light is like a full moon which to me is not nearly enough. If I had to do it over again I would have gone bigger.

I bought mine during the holidays, haven't had much sun since. However it is in a room with a 10' picture window facing north. I have had no issues with lighting as of yet.

This model is a bit small for your area of cacti. I would recommend locating a larger light that can cover more square footage.

I have a Happy Light and a full spectrum floor lamp. I turn the floor lamp on every day over my houseplants to give them light as the days are so dark, but I don't use the Happy Light for that. I also would suggest going to the website for Verilux and asking them. I can't tell whether or not my plants are flourishing but they are still alive at this point and look as good as they did in the fall when I brought them in, so you might give it a try.

Unfortunately mine is under an awning so I don't have to worry. I think I would try putting a towel on top on the days that it is going to be very sunny.

It may be that I just do not get enough sun in my yard which has a lot of tree cover but mine are not very bright at all. My rose bush attracks June Bugs quite well!

It needs at least 6 hours of full sun a day it is not an indoor tree unless it's a hot house mine is outside unless the temperature drops below 30 degrees.

Put it in a south facing window if you have one. Since its a tropical plant that bears fruit, it needs as much sun as possible. I have mine in a north facing window in Wisconsin, but I also have two grow lights near it. one is a flourescent light and one a 150 watt flood lamp designed for plants. I transplanted my tree as soon as it arrived. Its also a good idea to get some of those little soil sticks that tell you when you should water the plant by measuring the amount of moisture in the soil. Its a common mistake to overwater. Also, don't be alarmed if your tree starts dropping leaves. This is normal when it is moved from one climate to another. It will drop leaves and grow new ones as the leaves don't adjust in size for lighting conditions otherwise...
