lighting How much light indoors?

I'm in Norway and i have started to grow Chili indoors. But how much light does the plant need to grow? I now have 2x180watt Grow LED (red/blue) about 100cm over the plants. They seems to grow fine, how long can i grow them indoor before i need to make a greenhouse to move them out in the sun? The light is on for 16 hours and the temp inside the greenhouse is 27-28 celsius.

This is after 5 weeks.

Does the greenhouse temp stay at a constant 27 - 28 degrees Celsius?  If so, those are great temps for the plants.  I'd say move them to the greenhouse pronto.

The "greenhous" is in my basement, but i will make one outside with 10mm polycarbonate plates, but its still cold outside (-5c yesterday) so i dont think i would have so high temperature there, but the temperature in my litle inside greenhous is 27-28 constant.

You can move those lights much closer, like 20cm away from tops of plant.
 
They can theoretically grow under the lights forever, but you will probably run out of room. You can move them into the sun whenever you want.

I fully agree, you have plenty of room to move them closer and you will get a much better focus on the lumens if you do.
