Im upgrading my lighting to LED, need advice. Im trying to achieve high light levels so that my plants with red in will thrive. My tank is a 90 litre and is 46cm from top water level to substrate. Light unit would sit 3inches above water level. This is the tech data for a light unit im looking at, firstly will it be sufficient? And secondly what is it i need to look for in the specs?

In terms of LED mix this pendant comes as standard with a mix of 1.5W and 10W LED cells that have been professionally lensed to direct light into the water where it is needed most. The freshwater unit uses a mix of RGB, 8,000K and 10,000K cells.
The freshwater pendant which is perfect for fish systems and heavily planted aquascaped systems is providing a HUGE 280 PAR at 300mm THROUGH WATER!
I think the total wattage of the fixture im looking at is 73Watts

Thanks in advance for any advice
