Is this light okay?

For what? For a plant light, LEDs now have it over fluorescents in just about every way.
Also, a single fluorescent bulb will likely not be adequate.

For a 24 x 24 x 48 enclosure, this one is excellent.

I use the Sansi 70w units mentioned above. I think it all depends on what types of plants you’ll be using it for. 15w isn’t very strong, but will help keep your pothos, philodendron, spider plant and wandering Jew’s growing well. For anything other than basic houseplants, you’ll want to use at least a 35w or higher.

i plan to be using a pothos plant for my chameleon enclosure. Would this light be suitable for short term even?

Could you elucidate on that? Why only have one plant in your enclosure, and why short term?

You could get something smaller; Sansi also makes some excellent floods

(I wouldn't consider anything less than 24W—they won't have the power & range.)
but if you're thinking of upsizing, I'd go ahead and get equipment for the upsized enclosure; these lights are rated & warrantied for 5 years.

Oh no, i’ll be getting two plants as well as perches and vines for my enclosure. i just mean would this light be okay until i order a new one?

OK, if we're talking about just a couple/few days until the new plant light arrives, I wouldn't even bother. For that short period, household LED lightbulbs will keep the plants alive.

I too would go with the stronger light and lots more plants. It’s nice to have a tall center plant like a schefflera to add lots of shady hiding spots and then put the pothos and others around it. This is the enclosure I set up last year for my panther to give you some ideas. I used Dragon Ledges to hang branches and plants. https://dragonstrand.com/dragon-ledges/
