Default low-light plants in high light?

my tank is a 15 gallon, planted with the following species:

-2 echinodorus bleheri
-2 java fern
-2 anubias barteri
-2 anubias afzelli
-3 dwarf sag [i think, they were potted in with something else. here's a link to pics: http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...t=Photo138.jpg

-a whole bunch of anacharis/elodea stems.

i dose with flourish twice weekly and flourish excel on a daily basis.

now, some of these are low-light plants. i had a plain 15-watt, 10000K strip light on there before. now i've upgraded to a 55-watt 8000K power compact. which of my plants will be severely affected by this? i realize it is fairly high lighting, going from 1 wpg to 3.4ish wpg.
