The bright patch moves. In June the sun reaches 1.5 m in from the bay window. In January the low sun throws the same beam 3 m into the room — 1.5 m deeper. Winter light lands somewhere else.
Direct sun through the glass at the brightest spot for each class in June; the floor sampled every 0.5 m. Recomputed as you move the slider.
Light only — watering and feeding assumed as the label says.
