Selecting lighting intensity and spectrum depends a great deal on what animals you're keeping or planning to keep. Some are very tolerant of a wide range and will adapt accodingly. Some are very picky and need fairly narrow ranges. You'll need to measure the PAR levels you have and research what is best for your animals. Keep in mind, whatever you choose there will be animals that do not like it.
