In my personal experience in my home that receives shaded bright light in the winter from one window only and covered in dense shade in the spring/summer, the ZZ Plant thrives and does extremely well. The Peace Lily sits in front of the one sunny window in the winter but thrives in bright shade outside for the rest of the seasons. A Malabar Chestnut Bonsai, does well in front of a South-facing window in the kitchen, though that is screened by a sun-blocking screen. Otherwise, most other house plants seem to suffer in my lack of light even though they don't seem to understand that a cold winter would be worse had they been left outside!
