It depends on the plant. Each type of plant has a different foot candle, or lumen, requirement. Some are low light plants, some are medium, some are high. First, you need to know what type of plant you have. If you don't, you need to do some research to find that out. Once you know what type of plant you have, do some research to find out what its light requirements are. Here is a sample list of plants and their light requirements.

All plants need light, but some don't like direct sunlight.

In the direct sunlight the plants grow better.

Well, since nobody else said it...
You can rule out growing anything but mushrooms in the dark.
Sunlight is best, but many plants grow well in offices with only florescent light.

Hundreds and thousands of years ago, were there such things as fluorescent lights? Hell no, all they have was the sun...
