Not sure if it will kill them, but there is a good chance it will cause an algae outbreak in the tank...not to mention may even cause algae to start forming on slowler growing plant leaves such as anubias...

Algae is fine im not too worried abiut that as long as its not gonna harm the low light plants

Cater to your needs. If your low light plant require low light, then why over do it?

I'm a total noob to planted tanks but I did seem to "burn" some of my amazon swords when i switched to a vho light fixture. The plants seemed to shrink away from the light lol. They also turned brown on the edges. I suppose it could be anything but I just thought I'd throw it out there.
