Any T5 light will be too much light for a 10 gallon tank, unless it is suspended several inches above the top of the tank. I believe those are T5HO bulbs. But, the light may be a very cheap one and may not produce the normal light output of T5HO lights. Even with a cheap T5HO light, you will have too much light. (Too much light means you won't be able to avoid lots of algae problems unless you are able to use pressurized CO2, adjust it to get as much CO2 into the water as possible without harming the fish, maintain very good water circulation in the tank, maintain very good water surface ripple, keep pruning the plants often enough so they don't increase in plant mass significantly, do excellent tank maintenance, etc.)
