Would 2 of these be a good solution for a 24 x 48 x 84 tent, or should I go for a different wattage and number of lights?

IMO, no. They are overhyping this light. It does not even adequately cover 2 x 2. And why have they not given us the working wattage? That is an important number.

I think it would, depends what you are doing with it I have that one and a 90w UFO in a 2X4 x4 box and they work great for what I am doing.

These are great grow lights but they are small. I have two lights and that about does two big plants. If you want to start seedlings it will do a lot more but mature plants, especially if they are big, will need more of these lights. The plants love them though.

We have one on our 55 gal. tank which is 48L x 12W x 20H. I would recommend you use two for enough light for your tank. One is adequate for our tank and much brighter than the flourescent fixture we had previously.

I switched from the lamps to the LED units and used the old transformer from the initial installation. Obvious much larger than necessary since these LED's are rated at 2 watts. A smaller transformer of 40 watts will work fine with plenty of reserve to add more fixtures.

I have this chandelier in a 4x4 foyer and it does not look too big. I would go with at least the 5 light or a 9 or 12 light two tiered.

Alot depends on the size of the existing lamps (PAR38 100w?) and the height at which the fixture will be placed. Since it sounds as though this is for the function of the deck Vs just security I would go with a higher output. Haveing said that I would definetly reccommend LED for energy conservation and they attract "less" bugs. Good Luck

I wouldn't try it since the 10 4W bulbs aren't very bright to begin with. So putting more lights on the 48 watt transformer would dim the lights even further.

One 12" is perfect for a 24" cabinet - I'd use 2 for a 36" cabinet - you'll be impressed by how much light these put out

if you have 13 lights and they are 4 watts, that would be a total of 52 watts, you should be fine! I run 10 lights with 7 watts. and have for three or four years.

i see that your tent is 48" Wide by 24" Deep by 60"thats a fairly decent size and unless you are using low watt led and or fluorescent you are going to need a bigger fan, at least for the exhaust youll need a 4" blower fan minimum, 6" preferred like this: VenTech IF4 4" Inline Duct Fan 190 CFMand you can use 1 or 2 of these small duct fans as intake.

no, you'd never get those big bulbs in (well maybe two on opposing sides)I'd look at the Linco Flora X Lights, they hold 4 bulbs, aren't expensive and come with a nice softbox.

I would not hang more than the light itself from those crossbars, sometimes they slide a bit while I raise my light. The tent itself is pretty bare bones but it gets the job done, you may be able to find extra crossbars but again, I would not trust them.

I don't think that four of them will be adequate lighting. You will need at least 8. Four for each side on a pole. 12-16 would be optimal.

As I'm sure you're aware, 1200W will heat a room above the tolerance of about anything but cactus. A relatively tiny space such as tent will require MASSIVE air moving equipment and likely the tent you choose will not have any provision for such air movement. I would strongly recommend you research the lumen/sq ft requirement of whatever you're growing.I'm currently generating about 10,000 lumens. I have 5 fans (2 to ram air in, 3 to extract) and I'm still getting a 12 degree (F) rise over the temp outside the tent. Take care and have a fire extinguisher present.

You should use the 11 watts as the instructions say. If you use a higher watt, you could damage the light

Hello. I build for my friends that own a warehouse 2 aluminum frames and hung 12 of these fixtures in groups of three(total 24) . I would recommend to alternate between the highest light temperature and a daylight one, so if you mix them, you get a very nice result. The light is very uniform, and you can do some degree of precision work with it.

Not real sure, I've got mine in a 3ftX3ft tent with a 600 watt bulb, and it provides even coverage in the whole tent. I'd say it would probably do a 4x5 area with a 1000 watts.

I hung 2 over my bar and they light it nicely. I would probably consider hanging 4 for an area as big as you're considering.
