I've read about people running the sane set up on forums in the states with success
Aquarium illusions in Edmonton has a Deep Ocean blue on a 10 gal and it looks amazing

I should add its a zoa/paly only tank

Seahorse are assuming it will be too intense or know from experience ?
I have a par 38 halo on it now

It is too much light for the tank, especially since it can't be dimmed. The Kessil's put out a very strong beam of light, especially directly beneath them. I took PAR readings on my A350, while it is a more powerful light (90 W vs. 30 W), it uses the same technology and I believe it gives you an idea as to how much light Kessil's emit.

I have a 150 on my 18x18x18 cube and it's a lot of light. I think it's way to much for a 5g.

Think it would be okay 12-14 inches above water ?

It might but you would get a massive ring of light around the tank. Look at it this way, I have seen guys running 6 food tanks with 4 sometimes only 3, 150's. It's a beefy little light. If you already have one, worst thing that can happen is you try it and see if you like it and if it works out. If you don't and are going to buy one, save your money and get something smaller.

Yeah I have one. I was gonna use it instead of a par 38. Just looks tidier.
The 5 gal is actually in my bathroom lol. "The Office Tank"
I'm gonna give it a shot I guess. I will start as high as I can with it and creep it down
