Lights for 5x5x8 tent

DrGrnThumb90 said:

Ok so I found two.options from Meijiu. I can get (2) 440w lights or (4) 240w lights for my 5x5 tent. Prices are within 45 dollars of each other. Which would be the best choice? Both are 301B with reds+ meanwell drivers+ QB

I've come to learn that finding lighting to fit the 5x5 is a little harder than I thought. Seems 4x4 would of been an easier route but my tent already showed up today. Hopefully I can get these 2x4 rated footprint lights to cover even as possible.

Or get a bunch of HLG 96's and a couple drivers.

Otherwise, I can think of a decent one for a 5x5 from ChilLed, but it's expensive.

But I think 4 of those should work great.

I will have right around 545 dollars shipped for the 4 lights. 960watts for around 55cents a watt seems like a pretty good deal. How would you go about hanging those for the most even spread?

Thanks for the help man. You have answered so many.of my questions for a first timer the last few days. I'm so excited to get started on my first grow. Should be able to get everything this weekend set up other than lights. They should be here within a week.

Here's the formula I used to figure out the best distance between the lights. Glad I could help.
