You would probably need to use the time trigger to:

- trigger every N minutes
- test for the lux and/or temp conditions
- test for the time window
- execute what you want

I wouldn’t trigger any flow more often than every 5 minutes.

You could use [Action Scheduler](https://community.homey.app/t/75592) to execute every 5 minutes during the hours of 10-14. This would prevent unnecessary triggers. Time pattern for the app would be `*/5:10-14` meaning during the hours of 10:00 - 14:59, trigger every 5 mins.
