They will work just fine. The manufacturer says that light covers a little over a 2ftx2ft area at 24in above the plant. If you have 2 of them you will be fine for your grow area aslong as you maintain 24in above your canopy through your grow. Just be sure you’re tent has good ventilation.

Yea idk about that. Each light is good for 4 square feet. A 4x4 is 16

Also depends how much your trying to grow. If you just have two autoflowers and are only filling the tent half way, those two should be enough.... but more is better.

Add $150 and buy a Spider, you'll be happier and not looking for another light in 3 months....

If they are really 125w each I wouldn't even try and cover 2x2 per light.
With top end LEDs 120w is the minimum I would run over 2x2.
They are unfortunately nowhere near top end LED and 50w per square foot should be considered minimum.
Honestly I would get a better light for flowering and keep those for veg where they will do a reasonable job.
Obviously if your Happy to just cover 2x3 of your space and grow a single plant then they will work for now.
But if you plan on filling that 4x4 then its going to take
600w hps
Or 480-600w of top end LED.
Those are not going to be cheap. The HPS will be cheap.

So the manufacturer says they cover a 2x2 area, so 2 will cover a 2x4 area
So no they wont work

If 1 covers 2x2 then 2 lights would cover 4x4 lol learn your math before you try to contradict me

You're coming across a little bit arrogant, don't you think?
2x2ft=4 square feet.
4x4ft=16 square feet
16/4=4
If your light covers a footprint of 4 square feet, you will need 4 lights to sufficiently light a 16 square foot space.
Any questions @ChronicMarijuanaKing ?
Please keep in mind that the manufacturer also says that the lamp will replace a 400W HPS. It only draws 132W. There is no way in hell that the lamp would stack up to my 400W HID.
Don't believe everything a manufacturer says. They are out for one thing... your money.

Fuck you’re stupid
What?!?
2 x 2 = 4
2 x 2 x 2 = 8 (Two 2x2' tents)
4 x 4 = 16
Where did you learn math to be advising other people that they're incorrect here?

Here I drew you a dummy proof picture. Each 2 represents 2x2 area.
Next time before you look stupid again sit back and think a little bit.
