Wishful thinking? Not quite. I've been doing exactly that for the past 3 years, normal day temps and AC cooling at night and it does work. The Ultra Highlanders may not be happy depending on species and you'll probably need to put the really humidity cranky species next to the mister, but by and large, you should be able to grow most of the highlanders without issue.
My area gets less light than your's(just morning sun, all plants at a window), the neps have had to take air-con level humidity, plus survive a thrips infestation, a possible mite infestation and my own inexperience(I started it when I was still quite new to Neps) and a fair number that I got when I first started are still alive! If they can live through all that, some pitchering, basaling and even flowering, then I'd say it is possible to do it for sure, especially since you've got what sounds like a better area light-wise.
