Good call, like is posted many times in here and sounds a bit cheesy but the plants will let you know what they think of your lighting. Running with the lighting you already have keep an eye out for co2 or nutrient related problems. If you haven't already checked out these or this on algae and this on deficiency they're are worth a read. If you see any problems the next step is either increase ferts and introduce co2 albeit liquid or gas or drop the lighting. The lighting you have is adequate for growing majority of stuff and like Clive says you don't need v high lighting for carpeting stuff just everything else in check and it will grow, just slower.
Remember though once you up the lights and the tech you also up the work load of the tank and problems manifest quicker.
