5x5 tent lighting

Just purchased a spider farmer sf4000 and lit it up in the tent... it’s labeled as being solid for a 5x5 area and it just doesn’t seem that way... I’m considering returning it.
Anyone have any thoughts as to what my best option is for properly lighting a 5x5 tent?
Definitely want to go the LED route

SF4000 is 4x4 flower and 5x5 veg (or so they claim).
Depending on your budget there are some good choices for a 5x5 flower footprint, but the ones with the best flower spectrums and PAR maps are pricey.

That they are... that’s why I went with this... I have a 1000 watt conversion ballast (hps/ mh) but that’s so damn costly to run. The sf 4000 doesn’t seem to even touch the amount of light that puts off

2 of the 320 kits would work. Or there's always Timber or ChilLed. They all have discount codes. HLG's code is "RIU10". These would be $435 a piece. Or piece them together like @SB85 said.

Are you talking about making two separate boards or one with two drivers?


It would be separate. each would have it's own driver.





The end result would be having two of these but for cheaper

Good choice. I wish I looked here for advice when I bought my first LED. It's a Viperspectra that's still in the box. I didn't return it in time, lol.
Ahhhh that blows man haha.... why not eBay it? Maybe even sell it on here ( unless that’s against site policy or something). That’s one of the “blurple “ lights right?

Ya it's a blurple. I'm to lazy to sell it on EBay. Someday someone around me might want it and I'll just sell it to them super cheap, or even give it to them if they're a friend. They can give me some of the weed they grow with it instead of paying me anything.

Cheaper than the SF4000?
