Although most people say phal does better at 900 to 1200 foot-candles, I
wonder if it will do well at 2,400 to 3,000 foot-candles?

Remember that a light that produces 3000 foot-candles at
distance x will provide approximately 900 foot-candles at approximately
1.8 times distance x.
The 2400 fc light will produce approximately 1200 fc at 1.4 times distance x.

If the Phals think it's too bright, you can just move the light
further away.
