I don’t know how they compare but i have used a 250 in a 3x3x5 before with 4 in exhaust/carbon filter and just a passive intake and my temps hovered around 80-85F. Room took outside of temp was probably about 70-72

Thanks yeah gonna have to address heat with hps

I agree you need a little more light. But I would be concerned buying a second light too soon due to unknown quality and design; it could fail in a year with quality issue's. Some users have said in a year some of the LEDs have burned out. As others already said and and I agree just to add supplemental light and a large CFL is the cheapest way about $18-$22 per bulb. In a year if you still like that LED than buy more of the same but at least you will know for sure.

I used two of those to veg 4 plants in a 4x4 grow area with Mylar on all 4 sides, open top, they did fine, then I bought the 1200w (300 watts) as I’m into 3 days of 12/12, so far so good, not sure about the 1200w covering the 2 plants, at 18” the foot print isn’t very large, personally i like one light per plant, i think one 900w model per plant would work best.

Well that sounds fairly promising!

For one plant, this light is enough.

I'm using three Phlizon 600 watts in a 2 x 4 and I'm happy with the results so far. Works out to 40.5 watts per square foot using a wattage calculation.
You might be able to run two Phlizon 600 watts in a 2 x 2 and get 54 watts per sq. foot. These lights may not be the best product on the market but they are dirt cheap and a good way to learn about LED lighting.... 21 days after switching to 12/12.
