I cannot think of any plants for which your indoor location would provide too much light intensity. There are several factors at work here that reduce the light more than is commonly realized.

Indoor light is easily 10 times less intense than outdoor light. In northern latitudes, day length diminishes considerably in winter. Trees outside block more light than you realize. Finally, the natural light changes gradually through the seasons giving the plants a chance to adapt.

Not to worry!
