kramsey1127 · Jul 24, 2025

Looking into lights i don't know what to get i have local stores around that are offering good deals but dont know. I recently got a 8×8 and looking to get 2 4x4 lights. My options are
Photobio mx2 680 watt for 670
Fluence spydr 620 watt for 500
Or flora flex 700 watt for 400

A rule of thumb for selecting LED lights is 30 watts per square foot of floor space. You have 64 sq ft of floor, so that would be 1,920 watts. Two 4x4 lights would only cover half the tent, but maybe you don't need to use the whole tent immediately.

What are your plans for vegetation and flowering?

Yeah I dont need to use the whole tent right now I have 6 possibly 8 seedling if 2 pull through I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty new i did a couple runs in a 3x3 and was happy with my results and was approached with this 8x8 but didn't come with lights. As far as my plan for veg and flower can you be more specific.

In my opinion coverage is important so it would be better to get 4 700 what compared to getting 2 1000 correct?

I myself like to use 40 w/sq ft, with LED, and 62.5w sq/ft for HID.

The Sun, is 1350w Sq/M-2100umol. Average 127,000 Lumens sq/m
