Was thinking about buying two medium sized Kentias and have them placed in my dining room. However its in a northeast facing window that is tinted. Would this be fine?

Mine doesn't get much light at all and it's doing just fine. You could add a grow light if it becomes an issue, but I think it will be fine.

What's a good and easy way to measure light?
Anybody with experience?
There are some apps now that try to measure light for plants...

Thanks

Kentia palms can tolerate low light conditions but need at least moderate indirect light to thrive. They can survive in low-light environments, such as shaded indoor areas, but will grow more slowly and require proper care to stay healthy.

An old EV meter for photography. They were popular prior to digital cameras.

They can survive in quite low light conditions but window tinting filters out all the UV rays they need for survival. Frosted glass is fine however
