I'm recommending you want at least 800wts preferably a bit more like a 560wts of power but a few people will not agree with me. I have two lights in my 4x4ft and they are both 240wt lights. And they are not running on full power. In the flower period I will increase the power up to the 90%mark. So the light is just outside the 400wt in the power usage but it is only my experience with the lights I have. But I don't know how good the garden would be. If you used less than 400wt s. You can try and get good quality and that's all you need to look at. If you're happy then it is all good. Peace ✌️

i would put 4 ViparSpectra KS5000 in an 8 x 8. It would spec out to 31.25 watts of light per foot square.

Is 31 watts per foot what we should shoot for?

It's a guide because all lights are not created equal but 30 watts per foot square is a good starting point.

The coverage of KS5000 is 4x4 ft. So 4 KS5000s in 8x8 ft will be perfect!
