Okay I just measured my t5 W/8tubes, I was way off.
I get 3000 candlelight if the meter is right next to the florescent light.
I get 2000 candlelight at 8 inches away.
I get 1000 candlelight at 15 inches away.
My plants are about 20 inches wide.
I don't see how that can work for you but if you try please report back.
