Is this light ok ?

I intend to get a 4 tube ATI Power Modul T5 for my 50 gallon tank. Is this enough for LPS at least or has anyone use this brand of light ?

That is a sweet fixture. You should be able to keep just about anything with that fixture, no problem.

while I"m not overly familiar with that specific fixture, I do use 4 x T5's on my 55g (well, 6 bulb unit, I run 4 most the time) and it's enough to keep SPS, LPS, softies, leathers, I have NOT been able to keep shrooms and rics and similar corals in the tank....they bleach out even sitting at the bottom and all the good shaded spots have been used up already. Yet my larger hairy mushrooms do semi-okay, not as open as they should...again far too much lighting for them.
