Indoor bonsai lighting

What is the minimum lighting required to keep young seedlings alive indoors over the winter??

Right now I have one 20W, 1025 lumens, 24" fluorescent light. Is that adequate? I noticed that one of my larger seedlings has grown some very large leaves (2 inches long-ish), could that mean that the light is insufficient? Space is really an issue so I'm working with my built in desk light, but i would hate to lose my little trees so early.

thanks!
