Has anyone used these below in a planted tank?

I bought one of these for a small tank that will be changed to a soil substrate low tech tank. It's now low tech sand only. The tank is Juwel Koral 54l. The light I got is 18W 50cm length as I thought the 23W 60cm will be too much.
I do not need much light but the original 18W light that came with the tank was not sufficient. If I dropped to 6hrs duration the plants would literally stop growing. Luckily the light the tank came with failed 5 times!!! and I can no longer replace it, it's out of warranty, actually I didn't bother asking for replacement the last time though they were very good exchanging it every 3 months saying it's a manufacturing fault with a few and I may get lucky with one that works. Me, lucky? Naah🙂
