For indoor "Container Grown Banana Plants", what spectrum and what Watts/meter^2 are you recommending?

My growth chamber was used to start tomato seedlings but I briefly grew musa 'Truly Tiny' and musa 'Little Princes' tissue culture plugs in that and they did fine. I used ten 8.5 watt 2700 K LED bulbs and six 10 watt blue LED chips for a total of 145 input watts to cover a 4 ft.^2 area. That translates to 390 input watts/meter^2. I do not recommend it but I call it "more than adequate."
Tomato plants 26 days from planting seeds:
Incidentally, those bulbs cost me $2.50 each back in 2015.
