Hi Daen, welcome to b.org.
Light doesn't really matter with germinating Musa or Ensete species. I have germinated in a dark closest many times on a heat mat. Basically all that matters is tempature fluctuations. If you can get a heat mat with a timer that works good when set to 5-12 hours on, the remaining hours off. Also in a window with a little sun to warm them up in the day sometimes works if in spring and fall(possibly winter). Or you can also wait till spring and put them outside or in a greenhouse where they will naturally get the tempature fluctuations that they need.
