Bad idea?

Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Not sure on the wattage. Is is 150. I did rum a phlizon 200 w in my 60x60 but since I got a new light I have now got a tsw2000 at 315. It fits great and I'm vegging so very low dimming. That will be fine.. All light suit a size tent but going bigger and having higher up and dimmed will give you top light spread. Just read plants and dim or increase depending on need. Best having toouch than not enough

150W on that light in a 2x2 should be fine. Anything over that is a bit much per square foot. You can always have more but it will need to be dimmed down a lot. Look up PPFD maps for that light and try and calculate the DLI on it. you don't want to be going over 35-40DLI in 24 hr period. Its also good to note that DLI in 18/6 vs 12/12 will require the light to be run at higher setting. So maybe 12/12 uses the light at 100% and 18/6 uses it at 60% dimming is a great option. My lights are ran at 40% in veg and 60% in flower but I overshot my watts and if I run it at 100% it burns the plants. just to much light.

Yes the ts1000 will be fine. You will need to take advantage of the dimmer on the driver.
