They need at least five full hours of direct sunlight.

Similarly, a lux or lumen is the same measurement on a one-meter surface and is the metric equivalent.
One foot-candle equals 10.764 lux.
All plants need some light, and some can tolerate all levels.
Here’s a good starting point when considering plants that might work for your space.
In most cases, light through a window can be indirect lighting.
Grow lights are only considered indirect light.
Even powerful artificial light sources cannot fully replicate the sun’s full spectrum and power.
