Actually, it would probably only be about medium low light. To date I've found Wizard~Of~Ozz's estimates to be fairly close to actual performance on my nanos.

Depending on the size of your current light strip (20 or 24 inches) you can retrofit it with one of the www.ahsupply.com 36 or 55 W strips. I would think you have a 24" strip, but I thought the 15W bulbs were 18" in a 20" strip. The 55 W one would give you more than enough light for just about any plant. Of course, it would require CO2.
