I have these lights for my Mr Aqua 22G Long (36x12x12) Not too sure if they are "high-light" but, if I leave mine on too long- I start to get Rhizoclonium algae (brown thread like algae that turns "powdery" when smushed) a black-out usually kills it and trust me, I had it kill my tank.
As of now, I am stilling learning to play with the light (I had window screen around it to lower the intensity and have recently removed 3 layers of it) and currently getting a few strands of the Rhizoclonium algae and this is because of the light being left on the same time (around 7-8 hours) and fluctuating CO2.
All in all - it may be a high-light fixture and as Tom Barr always mentions - control the CO2 rather than the light
Also, check with Aqua Forest Aquarium and they may be able to tell you what type of light it is (I believe they will say to focus more on the PAR values)
