At about 3" from your lights, it is about half the brightness of a heavily overcast day, or about 1/16 of full on sunlight (depends on the reflectors in your lighting hood a little). Indoor lights put out very little light compared to nature unless you really pile them in there or get so close you're going to burn yourself on them anyways.
Which brings up another point, make sure he can't get too close to the bulbs for an Icarus moment. The should either be raised a couple of inches from the top of the tank or the highest perch should be a couple of inches from the top.
It's great you've provided multiple perches so he can choose how far from the light to be, he should do some self regulation with options like that.
