It doesn't really give me instructions on how much light or how intense I should operate it etc.

I'd start up around 18" above the plants, observe the reaction, and lower the light gradually as they appear able to handle it. This strikes me more as a supplementary light, help out your window plants during the winter kinda job. I don't think you'll have to worry about cooking anything.

You will get vastly different results from those two lights. I wouldn't try to grow much or anything with the tripod guy alone. That Vivosun light would grow you tomatoes in a windowless room.
