Yes, the light will work fine.
Your main issue's might be ventilation for fresh air (prevent mold), heat extraction, scent control and noise.

I have been told the actual wattage with most LED is half of what most companies list. So if a 216w LED is actual wattage from the wall is 108 watts. I bought a Vipraspectra 1200 to find out it only draws only 460 watts. But getting back to point you need 150 watts per plant you need more light. Since your growing in a closet don't over water and remove all extra water to avoid getting fungus gnats. good luck

I see my buddy Gauge has already stopped by lol!
Hey bantachi, what dimensions are the closet and what size tubs are you going to use? I guess what I'm wondering is how big do you want your final plants to be? I am currently finishing up a closet grow and started with 1 600 watt viparspectra led. Like marij said, it only draws about 227 watts. LED's are sold as "600 watt" but that only means they are meant to replace a 600 watt hps and they save energy by only drawing half the volts. So when looking at the LED's just know that "600 watt" or "200 watt" are more like model numbers than the actual draw of the lights.
If you wanted to veg 2 plants with the lights you mentioned you could probably do that with no problem but when it comes time to flower I think you are gonna want at least double that. I ended up adding another 600 watt led to my grow a few weeks in because I thought it was kinda dark in the closest overall. Once I added the second led panel it really brightened things up and gave my girls plenty of food.
I would recommend splurging, if at all possible, on a decent 300 watt LED panel or two. They run about 60-80 bucks on Amazon but you should check out the sponsors list, they may have discount codes or something for members! Let us know what you decided and start up a grow journal, we love to watch lol! Good luck and Happy Growing!
