Default Herb sunlight requirements

Hello

I have a lovely indoor herb garden and I am worried that due to winter
arriving it may not be getting the sunlight it needs. Its not an easy
structure to move and besides, the 6 herbs in the garden have grown madly in
its current position. In summer it gets full afternoon filtered sun but now
that winter is upon us it doesnt get much light at all. The room it is in
has a flourescent light which I am assuming is not much benefit to the
plants so is there an alternative? Possibly a lamp with a special globe?
I dont need to bathe it in sunlight, I just want to increase the light it
gets a little bit... I have tried mirrors behind it to reflect light but
there hasnt been much light to reflect. I know plants are used to changing
seasons and its all part of nature but as I am a prolofic herb user I dont
want my gaden to go into a stage of dormancy... not sure if they do that
but you get my drift.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
