Like you I have a number of tropicals that I bring indoors for the winter by putting a few here and there in the basement etc. My orange trees and some flowers seem to require the most light so they are closest to the window light source. In my experience my various type of bananas make it through the winter in a relatively dark area which I supplement with energy efficient lights equivalent to 60 or 100 watts which I have on for 4 hrs/daily only during the dreariest part of the winter.I find all my bananas survive very well in light conditions that is experienced at dusk and require headlights to be on in order to drive safely.
My area is around 55 degrees so my plants are just in a holding pattern till late spring.
