It's not too much light. I have an 6 x 24w ATI PM on a LPS 25 gallon. My tank is only 14" high. My fixture is 6 inches from the water surface and most of my 30+ Aussie Acan colonies are 2-4 inches below the water surface and all of them are doing just fine. As with all corals just acclimate them properly.

If you find the light to be too much you could always run egg crate on the top of the tank for a bit over the lps to shade them and slowly remove it to acclimate them to the light.

Again thanks for all the ideas, never thought of the egg crate one but I bet it would work great. And yes I'm sure over hangs will be a must. I'm not a huge fane of raising the light too high as I don't want light spilling into the room.
