What wattage of LED light should I buy for my setup?

I'm going to do a 2 plant hydroponic setup in a large spare closet but I do not know how strong of a light would be best. I've considered a 180, 240 and 300 watt. Is one of those good or would stronger be better? I'm going to have the lights on a 18-6 cycle for the vegetation period and a 12-12 cycle during budding. I want to produce the most and best quality weed that I can, I just don't know if I get too strong of a light that it'll be bad for the plant or just a waste of electricity. Also, what would be best if I included a 3rd or even 4th plant? It's a rather large closet so I may end wanting to make the most of it.

What footprint size you looking at?

I'd go 240 watts for two medium plants. Two 120 watt panels would do you well...as far as quality, I grow with black dog lights and my stuff is amaaazing. I think they just added some lower wattage lights to their line, mightbe worth checking out for a closet grow.
