Am I going to wreck her?

So “more light is better” but is there a cutoff so to speak? I’ve got one plant flowering in a 30x30x60ish tent right now in a 5 gallon smart pot. I had two smaller LEDS in there (Mars reflector 96 and a no name “300w” led) but felt like there could be way more light so I swapped them out and replaced it with a lush Dominator 2xxl that I had in my closet, I had to hang it diagonally to get it to fit but WOW is it bright (630 w draw). The light is currently 27” above the canopy because it is designed for a bigger area. Besides heat( appears to be about a degree hotter than both smaller lights) do I have anything to worry about by lighting up that space with so much light? Anything I should switch up? Thanks in advance.

I know “blurples suck buy/build a cob setup” but I’m working with what I can and cobs are planned for later

Included the hanging report for the new light as well, if this isn’t going to be a problem how low over the canopy should I go given it’s a smaller space than usually recommended

You won’t overwhelm with those lights if you maintain that distance.
