    That light seems fairly low powered, it is only 14watts total. From my research is seems that you want 10-20 watts/sq ft for LEDs, and you should use a light that uses 1w or higher emitters (for better light penetration).
     
    I just ordered one of these:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOPGROW-20X3W-Series-LED-Grow-Light-Lamp-for-flower-plant-herbs-vegetables-/121122846699?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c337bf7eb
    Got it for $50 on a bid, which is under $1/watt (seems to be the going rate for good LEDs)
    I haven't used it yet but they say they have a 90 day return policy so there isn't much to lose.
