I worry about the overlap of the two lights. should i be using the PAR info from the vivaspectra 900w instead as that's basically what i have?

Hi mate, everything looks good from here. If you are worried about it, download the light lux app. You can use your phone to measure lux which can be converted to PAR. MigroLight have a great video on youtube about it. 60000 lux is around 500 PAR. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

i have just been kinda guessing 1/3 further than specs will mitigate cross over from lamps in the middle and lower light levels at sides.
