Is this black tinge on the leaves of my orchid from too much light exposure, or should i be concerned about something else? It’s been growing well, but the leaves keep gaining more of a black tint.

Yes it’s from direct sunlight  
\*That one leaf looks like it has something abnormal on it. If it was me I’d remove it or at least treat with neem oil.

Thank you! those bumps have been on the leaf for probably a month now and i haven’t noticed any hindrance in growth, so i’ll probably opt to try the neem oil.
