Do my Reefbreaders LED nano lights put off enough PAR to add SPS?

[Millsaps2378]

Hello everyone! I have a 40g LPS dominated tank. I have been wanting to add some SPS to the tank but I have been worried about the lights on the tank. Currently I am running 2 reefbreaders nano LED lights and I'm not sure if they will be strong enough. Does anyone have any idea if these lights will put off enough PAR or if I will need to upgrade to stronger lights before adding SPS to the tank? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Not going to say what you can or can't grow
Just a bit of food for thoughts:
The nanos are 30-ish watt lights.
So 60 watts at Full power for the wider 40b tank.

You can grow high light stuff under a flashlight with the correct focus and a limited area

Awesome thanks. Thought about just trying one out and seeing how it does but would hate for it to die because the lights aren't powerful enough.

Not likely anything would die if being under-lit. Just may not grow real fast
