The price is right and those PAR values look comparable to a quantum board (maxsisun mf2000) that I use over 2 plants in a 4x2x5ft box. A PAR meter of your own might help like the Photon app or I use this one shown since the Photon app does not work on my tablet.....................
But if those PAR values (of the maker) are fact and not fiction they should work. Everyone talks mean well drivers and Samsung diodes which I doubt those boards have- but a Sosun driver works fine.
You dont know what the LED diodes are though.................... Without being able to test those boards for PAR yourself, it may put you at a disadvantage (or not) in that regard.
With my 230 watts I use it is comparable to a 400 watt metal halide bulb...................I combine it with another 100 watt board to get about 40 led watts per sq. ft. 40 to 50 watts of "quality" LED light per sq. ft. works fine for me.................
You can convert sq. feet to cm. , no?

It’s a 4x4x6 tent by all accounts.
I utilise 300w LED BAR style over a 3x3 footprint
I honestly can’t say I’ve heard anything about that light before so can’t say for its quality etc.
this lighting fixture I am using utilised bridgelux diodes rather than Samsung.
what are the diodes In the fixture you’ve been offered?

If they're the right price for you they'll work just fine.
2 of them will get you roughly the same light as a 600w hps but with better coverage.
I switched from hps to 220w boards and I can't complain about my yield compared with the electric savings.
Definitely worth it.
Edit... my boards are some Chinese amazon boards btw so nothing special, but I'm still very happy with the results.

If the boards of the OP are given as gifts, then no money spent can sound pretty good.
Here are PAR values (PPFD) that I use-
200-400 : seedlings
400-600 : vegetative
600-900 : late vegetative and flowering
You will see some variance in recommendations on these values but these are in the ballpark.
At above 1000 PAR (some say 1200) the light is too much and is not utilized without CO2 as a supplement. Below 12 inches above the canopy (with a high PAR), you will generally see some leaf burn as bleached leaves and buds dont form as well.
thats what I think!

The light is designed for a 2x4' footprint. It isn't comparable to a 600w HPS. 600w HPS can usually do a 4x4' 1000w HPS does 5x5'.
