too much light?

I want to use two 300 watt advanced platinum leds in a 4x3x6 scrog cabinet. Will this be too much light for this box? I'm either going with the two leds or one 650 HO t5. I'm not concerned about the heat from the leds, just the light intensity

As long as you keep them far enough away so they don't get burnt I don't think you can have to much light! I have 2 600watt less in a 4×4 and have seen alot of grows on here and youtube with alot of light and alot of bud being produced!:) good luck

I agree with Newb32. So long as you can keep the lights 16 - 24" away from the plants so the buds won't bleach to solid white you should be ok. With 2 lights you'll get much better coverage of your plant space. I'm using as much as 1000 watts with 3 LEDS in a 4x2x7 tent. I probably don't need that much wattage but I already owned the 3 lamps so I figured I'd use them to completely cover the plant space with the needed light intensity. I run them on partial power most of the time but have run them at full power during the flower cycle.

Yeah man, as long as your lights aren't too close and you can control the temperature, go for it. Plants absorb as much light as they need, it's the heat stress that damages them.
