Default LED light help

Hoping to get some insight...hoping I didn't make a stupid purchase

I purchased an ELive track system today

http://elivepet.com/fish/lighting/le...le-track-light (48" version)


It comes with 8 White & 2 Blue LED PODs which have the following output/draw:

Cool White 10,000K White 80 lumens 1W

Lunar Blue 445 nm Blue 475 mcd 1W

I added 4 more Lunar Blue, so I have 14 total

When I turned it on and observed my tank it was a lot less "bright" than my 2 T5 10K I was running

I know "brightness" has nothing to do with the PAR etc. but I am wondering if I have enough light or PAR (still learning) to maintain my softies?

I have a few leathers, kenya tree and GSP

I appreciate any input, and help!
