What do you think would be the right size tent for this light?

that light draws 180 watts from the wall, i honestly wouldn't try to cover much more than a 2x3 area with that for veg. i wouldn't use it in flower at all.it would take at least 4 of them to cover a 4 by 4 tent, and i still wouldn't count on a good yield.

Thanks Roger. I know I can always count on you for sound advice. I was actually thinking a 2 x 2 tent but yall are the experts. I may just go back to a standard outdoor light because of the lumens and the power rating.

Good call. A general rule of thumb for LEDs is ~50W / sqft to produce good bud and a 2x2 canopy under this light puts you in the ballpark.

I sell lighting on the side but I'm no expert on grow lights (and no mods I'm not trying to peddle lighting here. Personally I think that's unseemly in this community) But I was wondering what you experts think because I'm going to start a new grow soon but I want enough light to do a small grow in a scrog setup (soil and organic nutes).

Any thoughts friends?
2'x2' at most maybe a 2.5x2.5 if your only vegging
