I think it is sufficient. Depends on the sqft of area. I'm gonna guess like 4 sqft gives you 60+ watts/sqft. I forget the exact amount of watts/sqft is minimum, but I think it's 20 and you are past that. Could always use more, but I think you'll get nice buds. Less heat than a bigger light also. Less electric.

min. is 40w per sq. ft....measure your growing space...length x width...take that number x 40....thats how many watts you need minimum...anything over that number is a plus
