Do not pay attention to the artificial "equivalent" number that many inexpensive lights advertise. Look at the actual wattage consumed by the fixture. For a white LED I want a light capable of providing 30 watts per square foot minimum but 35 watts per foot is better. So, in your case 480-560 watts. And, I like a light or multiple fixtures to spread the light out. I do not like a super bright small light in the center as it tends to create a hot spot in the middle with darker corners while a physically larger light or multiple fixtures can spread the light more evenly.

Are we talking about the 70 dollar 2000W amazon specials? Cause that’s not gonna do much for ya.
A lot of people claim they’re running 2000W but unless you spent thousands on a good LED board or running HPS or HID you’re not running 2000W with anything that cost you 70 bucks on Amazon. There’s a lot of junk out there. Be weary of what you spend your money on.
I wish your question was a bit more specific about what it is you want to actually run.

If your talking HID it's too much. 600 watt HID would do.

Lifespan of led grow lights?Lifespan of LED quantum boards?
Hi
I'm looking for anyone who has first hand experience with the lifespan of the led grow lights. I'm not looking for the manufacturer guidelines. Just anyone who has noticed any difference in performance from the LEDs over time..

When to lower light intensity?When is the right time to lower light intensity? I'm on 5th week of flowering, should I keep my lights on max or reduce the power/increase the distance to plants? I have around 1000W of Led's at 35-60cm distance from the tops. I see no burning/bleaching or anything like that.

Best Light Schedule for Autoflowers?I'm wondering what light schedules my fellow growers like to use with their Autoflowers? I'm debating weather the additional cost of a 20/4 is worth it in terms of growth and increased Bud Quality/Size over a 18/6 schedule. I would love to hear your experiences.Setup. Lighting
