LED lighting for my 2x4x6 grow tent?

I am starting my first grow box here shortly. I plan on buying a 2x4x6 grow tent and Phlizon 600 watt LED grow light. Would this light work fine for me? Should I get another light for flowering? I have only been recently learning about lighting and don’t really know what I’m doing. I would like to keep my expenses to a minimum, while still ending up with a fair sized yield. Any advice greatly appreciated!

I have the same size tent and im getting ready for my first grow. I ordered a 320w quantum board knock off from china. I think its the best bang for your buck. The 240w is probably sufficient as well, from my research.

As you can see the actual power of the unit in your screenshot is 100w

For flowering, 30-35 watts per square foot is recommended with efficient white LED, around 50 for blurples like the Phlizon.

Using a 320-watt fixture/driver rig would be perfect for the 8 sq ft of area you're trying to illuminate. 3QB's or equivalent knockoffs will do nicely.

I am running 2 QB96's which are on sale for $69 bucks with heatsink.
I run 2 with computer fans at 200w each and my plants are loving them.
Amazing lights!!

I’m thinking I might go with a 400w mh/hps kit and 3x3x6 tent after doing some more research last night and looking on amazon. I was able to find what I needed for a 3x3 but couldn’t find the right lights for the 2x4 I wanted originally
