Default New Vivarium and need help with lighting!

Hi, i´ve seen this forum thousands of times and i just decided to become part of it. I just finished my first vivarium and i have some questions about lighting. Hope i can get some help here =)
I was wondering if regular LED lights is enough for the moss to grow?

I don´t know why i can upload the pictures, sorry about that! I will try later, promise.

Thanks

Axel.

Can you be specific about light output, both in terms of quantity (foot candles or any such metric), and quality (reference to emission spectra or color rendition index)? Enough LEDs put together may work; I seem to recall they are used in some of the brightest car head lights, so that's a pretty decent indication on strength. I have not looked at spectra, but there are some LED lights used in photography, so that is also a positive indication. In terrarium lighting, I've seen LEDs mostly as so-called moon-lights, and that is certainly too weak to grow plants.
