Hi guys, in the future I plan to upgrade from the current 2x2 box/150w LED. I was thinking of a 4x4 area with 500w LED. I came across an interesting 500w led lamp for quality/price and this is the spectrum chart, does it seem suitable for growing cannabis?

When it comes to lights, you need to look at a lot more than just spectrums of light. You need to compare PAR, PPF, PPFD, efficiency per watt, number of diodes, microjoules per square meter per second, all sorts of stuff. There's a YouTube channel called MIGROW that tests other companies lights and compare them to the best of that size on the market. He usually breaks them down into sareas of light coverage, like 2'×2', 3'×3', etc. I hope this helps and good luck hunting for a light. I'm looking for a 5'×5' or 6'×6' for flowering right now and it is a lot of work to find the best one on the market.
