Ambient lighting

Would this work for ambient lighting for a 4x8 indoor greenhouse enclosure?

I'm thinking just one would be enough. It's 6500k and claims 10000 lumens. Too bright?

I think that many lumens coming from a single light at "standard" height for an enclosure is too bright.

I prefer to have the ambient lighting spread throughout the enclosure

This one from Harbor Freight is 4000k (it says that on the box at the store)

Is 4000k ok? Is 5500 lumens too bright?

@seanbaker1 What tortoise and what age do you have (or planning to get)? Do you plan to grow live plants in the enclosure or just put some pots for decoration?
