This thread along with the link to the updated thread within it is a great source to get an idea of what you are working with.
PAR vs Distance, T5, T12, PC - New Chart
Simply put you are likely in the low to medium-ish range, so you'll be able to grow most plants. The only ones I wouldn't attempt are the carpeting type which really need high light and co2 to grow well along the substrate level.
