Im assuming she means stock hood lighting. Is this correct AP12?
If so, Java Moss, Java Fern, Anubias, silvinia, Water lillies. These grow with low to moderate light.

Sorry I assumed with the cute and cuddly Avatar. My bad. LOL.
I edited my response above with some good low light plants. Hope it helps.

like i said "low" has a limit. So while anubias and java ferns may do well, many other low light plants will just be at a stand still and not grow at all.
Here are some of those general low light plants

Alex I have a 20 gallon that only has a 17 watt light, and the plant choices are severely limited. Plants that have done very well in my tank: crypt wendtii, crypt retrospiralis, onion plant both dwarf and regular, pennywort, anubias, java fern, marimo (moss) balls. I attribute some of the success to my Eco Complete substrate and ensuring my light bulb has the right spectrum (6500K or higher). Java moss, anarchis, hornwort, and other "low light" plants did not do well.
