So what are you going to do with the lights are you wanting to flower them or what I run two tents and use the 2000 for and a 1200 and a 600 for clones and Veg as always thank you for your time and the best of luck

I would say not optimally. I don't know King lights but I don't trust there ad at all. Fist off it says their LED's will last 100,000 hours, double what even reputable companies say. Now the power draw you stated would come to 31.75 watts per square foot, you want a min of 35. It will work, just not optimally. Their PPFD numbers also look incredibly high which I would question.

Don't get me wrong, as I say the light will work and could produce some great bud.

16 sq ft of canopy needs at least 600 watts of blurple diodes to get adequate light levels.
I would bump it a bit higher if you can handle the heat.
