HLG makes a lot of good products ... but have you looked at the PAR map on this thing ... it's awful for a 5x5. They're going to have to spend $4K+/- on lighting, but I don't think that's the solution.

.
And this is why I live in an HPS worldThe fact is, no one makes a great 5x5 fixture based on the PAR maps I've seen. The fixtures are all designed to fix in a 4x4 space, so the edges and corners tend to be a lot weaker than the center in a 5x5 space. I'm wrestling with the same issues myself since I'm going to be setting up a 10x10 as well.
To overcome the weakness along the edges, I'm looking a this fixture from Mammoth to fill in the gaps

There's been some interest in the Geek Best Pro 630w which was only available on Alibaba. That's no longer the case. Some enterprising folks have opened a US business stocking them here. i love the even canopy for a 4x4, and with 4 of the single bar Mammoth units it looks quite promising.
Finally, I'm looking at the Photontek 600w ... I'd love to wait for the 1000w unit but that's going to depend on the veg cycle one I get set up again. The 600s will still need the 4 single bars to even out the lighting, but the quality and the spectrum are first rate.

Don't know if sharing my indecision with you helps or hurts, but those are my candidates for a 10x10. The costs are still around $4K for any of them.

Yeah it gets complicated if you're looking for a great solution, and to tell the truth, HPS doesn't really fit 5x5 eitherAnd this is why I live in an HPS world

Like I said, there are a lot of options out there. For this style fixture, the Mammoth 10 bar fixture I referenced will eat the Rayonled for lunch and save you about $300(US) per fixture
Sounds like you need to find yourself an investment partner with some decent knowledge.
All I can say is the LM301H diodes have been tested and proved to be better than the LM301B's. So what about the HLG 605 Diablo vs the mammoth equivalent?The fact is, no one makes a great 5x5 fixture based on the PAR maps I've seen.

I may be mistaken but the only difference I'm aware of the the 301H series is coated .. not much difference in the spectrum or the output
Nice looking grow with a great canopy. Hope you never lose something important in the middle
