That grow light is WAYYYYY too dim to be of use. You'd need about ten of them. They're good for supplemental light, but they have way too low of a lumen rating for growing vegetables.

In order to not get leggy seedlings, you need to essentially not be able to look at the light source. I have six of these attached to a 2x4 foot piece of plywood:

You need something like 2000-5000 lumens per square foot to replace sunlight at minimum; less for succulents and shade plants and much more for food crops.
