IÂ´m currently using a small T5 lamp for my sump, its just one bulb about 11 watt or something like that, quite old about 3 years old, is this good enough lighting for a sump?

A sump wouldn't need lighting per'se do you mean refugium? If so it would probably be fine if you had a nice 6500k or so bulb. You could get better growth with more but it would be sufficient I would say

Yes I mean refugium, the t5 bulb is 11000k I think.
