HLG 350R or 650R Diablo for 3x5?

Hi all just started to pick leda for my grow room and Im not sure should I go for exactly what I need for 3x5 tent HLG 350R or do a bit of overkill and have 650R? I could aleays dime lights if Ill need but not sure if I even need that much?
Almos everywhere says 950~ PAR for end flower but if Ill blast some more thats just gn benefit it even if ita without CO2 isnt?

thanks your opinions in advance

The 350r would be good for 3x3 maybe slightly bigger. Not enough to fully light a 3x5 in flower.

Have you priced up the hlg scorpion?
Where I am they are same price as 650r.

30w per square foot is 450w . Your kind of bang in the middle of those lights you listed

Not sure if Adam still posts here but he used to be a regular, solid guy, sells good lighting.
shoot him an email.

light below should give good coverage and you can dim it down a bit.
I'm assuming your in UK because you posted the UK link. If not then discard my suggestion

Size of led is too big wont fit my 1m x 1,5m the biggest I can fit is 1m this one is 106.

So atm Im left with:
Zeus pro 465w
HLG 650R Diablo (hlg mounting is very high from canopy)
Still looking…

I would worry more about the recommended hang height than the area, the 650R needs looooads of clearance. For 5 foot wide foot print I think you'll probably be better served by 2 lights, one for each 2.5x3 foot half. Maybe 2 x 350R or 2 x240 kits if you want boards.
Strip lights: they need less hanging height so should be good aswell but they are generally geared towards 4x4 or 5x5s.
It would also be easy to diy a light, based on any 2 foot strips for perfect coverage.

Yeh I agree seems like best for my 3x5 would be HLG 350R as it covera exactly 3x5(flower) but Im not sure if its rl gn push to the limit as its 1011PAR…
Zeus 465w pro seems to be fine coverage is 1,2x1,2m so both sides of tent would be with less par but I recon that would not harm at all as light still penetrates to the sides a bit.
And zeus is 980x900 so would fit my 3x5 and it doesn't have to be that high as HLG diablo.

so HLG 350 (as diablo mounting is too high but they are soooo good)
or
zeus 465w compact pro
So far…. What other lights that know to be good and would fit my 1m x 1,5m?

Hlg350 is a fine light, probably not quite enough for a 5x3 mars hydro sp6500 would be a good fit. Look at some lights and plug them into the calculator here https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/grow-light-calculator/

This would probably be a good fit too.

So I found another light that could be working for my 3x5 tent
Maxibright Daylight LED 480w Pro
Or
Lumatek Zeus Pro 465w
