lighting Are these LED lights & T8 bulbs ok for indoor?

First post here and I did some researching before I posted to see if I could find some answers. I currently live in Houston and it is about 55-72 degrees on any given day. I have some seedlings that hatched and my plants are about 1"-2" in dixie cups now. I plan to hang these lights in a closet for now until the weather warms up.
 
Question 1: Are these lights and LED enough lighting?
 
Question 2: How far should I hang these above the plants? I was reading around 2-3" for these orange hot peppers I am growing?
 
These are the bulbs I have:

I use T-5 and T-8 lights and love them.  Someday i'll get an LED light.

Those LEDs are pretty weak. Especially for the money. Look into the kingbo 50w LED ufo light for the seedlings. It's the same cost as the one you posted. I have one and it seems to be doing pretty good.

Thanks for the help guys. What about those T8 bulbs? Are they good enough for my seedlings?

Yep they work well for seedlings

Those leds lights are way too weak, you want 50w or up for any normal seedling or small plant growing.
 
Even this 30w led growing light would be much more superior for your seedling growing compared to your current 18w led growing light:
