Was just wondering if something like these two shoplights (with proper bulbs of course) would be acceptable for tank lighting. Tank has glass lids, also considering suspending them over the tank rather than laying them on top.

When I bought my lighting a year ago for my 55 gallon planted I bought a dual bulb T5 HO fixture for my tank. Not realizing there were HO and NO versions of T5.
I have 0 issues with algae even though it has bright lighting. But I feel like the lighting is too bright for the fish I have/want to have in the tank, despite the fact that the water surface is almost completely covered with amazon frogbit.
