Yes after germination you want direct sunlight(no branches above blocking light), preferrably at least 4 hours per day, and the more the better.
But transferring from indoors to outdoors, you want to harden them off, get them used to the outdoors first. The sun is more powerful than you think, a cloudy day is more light than any indoor light produces. So for the first week its good to gradually take them out, the first few days take them out in cups in a shady area, then gradually move them into more sunny areas for more sunlight each day. You should see the main stem of the plants thicken a bit and after a week or so, they are ready for transplant and stand a much better chance of surviving.
If you cant do this and have to transplant immediately, maybe try to shade them for a few hours with something for the first few days. I dont mean covering them, I just mean placing something in front of the sun that dapples the light a bit.
Good Luck
