Lighting Overkill?

[Ryan Golightly]

So I am running 2 600w LEDs in a 20"×40"×65" tent for 2 autos in 5 gal smart pots. Is this overkill or am I just paranoid? I dont know the name of the first 600w but the second one is off of Amazon and the brand is called a Wills Newest Reflector (?). Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!

That probably isn't the actual wattage. They are probably closer to 200 or less.

to be honest, if you can manage the heat it will be good but as damien said the actual wattage will be a lot less

If this is the light, then it's only 102 actual watts (assuming that's even believable from a company that misleads on power), and suspected LED inefficiency probably means the plants don't get much light power.
You'd probably need 3 of these to adequately illuminate your tent. Something closer to 300 actual watts.

After calculating tent floor surface area to be 5.6 sq ft, 200 watts is probably enough, if the lights really are 102 W.
Typically, 300 true watts is enough for a 3 ft x 3 ft, 9 sq ft tent, and prorating that yields 185 watts.

I wish the Mars Hydros weren't so costly, I'd love to get my hands on some of those. Seen a few of them in action and they are pretty sufficient in my opinion.
