Hey guys, I'm with a simple 40x40x120 tent with 2 11L gallons where I'll grow 2 autos at time!

For now I have a 400w hps borrowed from a friend but it's to much for my needs and to expensive aswell so I want to buy some leds!

Do you guys think its better this panel: https://www.ebay.com/itm/75W-LED-Pflanzenlampe-Pflanzenlicht-fur-Zimmerpflanzen-Vollspektrum-Grow-Light/293724540737?epid=15038327252&hash=item446358cf41:g:gRQAAOSw1~teag-v

or two lamps E27 100W full spectrum https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07JZB3CN8/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_3SNDFbKJEK8SS

Or if you know something better for my tent please tell me!

those bulbs will only do a single plant each, so your better off with two of those rather then that 76w panel, which may only draw a fraction of the light it states.
you could get a lower wattage compact metal halide lamp or a 150-250w metal halide lamp for two plants
there are leds on the market that will woork, ill leave the choices to someone with more knowllage of them

thanks for the reply! So with the 2 bulbs pointing to each plant (i will only run 2 at time) do you think those are worth for the whole process? later I may upgrade but for now I need something cheap

ill let you know when i use mine, i baught two of them, a 100w and a 150w bulb from ebay, they were about the same price, so if you do go with these, you may want to go for the 150w on the right.
but i think an hid or led board light may do you better, as i say ,ive not tried them yet
