Would two 600W lights be good for a 77" x 77" x 77" tent?

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.

I think It would be far to much for that small space. IMHO!!! But One would probably be okay with a couple good exhaust fans. good Luck!!

yes, just about right, get ready to deal with circulating the heat out. Negative fan pressure will probably be the way to go, for that area it may take 2 or 3 6" or 8" tube type fans blowin out from the top & pullin cooler air in from the bottom.

I don't know about your lights. This tent supports my lights and air scrubber. About 60 pounds or more.

Yes. It comes with 2 bulbs and either will be sufficient. It might be too much light.

yes the Iland in my kitchen is slightly larger and 2 lights are ample. We use 60W equivalent LED bulbs.

Sure. I have 2 in a similar capacity w/ 95W LED's and a dimmer. Plenty of light.

I don't know for sure but I think it would work. 6A at 12V will give you 72W and the lights are 27W. It certainly would give some bright light. I am quite happy with them on my boat.

I don't recommend this tent. It is not tall enough for a 400watt sunlight bulb. Plants burn and dry out easily. The 96 inch tall tent is wonderful.. after purchasing the 96 inch I have packed up the 48 inch and it sits collecting dust.

I haven't installed my lights yet, but based on the size of the light bundle, it looks like it could be too much. Sorry I can't be of more help.

You can use up to 100 watt but I use 75. These are beautiful lights and they look great outdoors. I have been so happy with them at the front door and around the garage door. I thought the price was great but they look very expensive. Very glad I found them.

I have a three lamp fixture that looks like a 75-100 watt incandescent. So to be honest, your 60 watt example would need two of these bulbs. They are also candelabra based (minny) designed for a chandelier or a similar styled lamp.

This might be too much light. You may want to buy a 3w as well so you can see which one give you the light you want.

I did with a regular size (12 x 12 tent) I believe, but I quit doing it because it was cumbersome and not very good results. I bought a 2 light assembly Zykkor C082 Copy Stand, and that solved most of my problem. I bought it on Amazon. Chuck

Should be fine... But it is only 100 watts so can drive two 50 watt bulbs maximum.

I would get two lights, one for each tray if that is your only choice and within budget. Definitely grab a reflector hood too. Although 1 bulb could work, I feel that 1 bulb would be bare minimum and you would want to move the trays around to help distribute the light evenly in a 1 light set up. I personally use 3 of these lights for 1 tray, for max/best results. But then I tend to over do things. =) Good luck!

For a wide and deep tank with high light plants, you'll probably want two fixtures. One keeps medium light plants happy in a 72 bow.

It probably depends on the LEDs. I'm using EcoSmart 6 in. 9.5-Watt (65W) Soft White (2700K) LED Downlights with the CREE LEDs, and they're great; extremely dimmable and very steady output.

I did a side-by-side comparison and they are closer to a 4 watt than a 7 watt on light output. But due to the arrangement of the LEDs it may not be able to cover the same area with light as a 4 watt lamp. The light coverage will depends on the type of fixture it's installed in.
