Why so small?
Why do LED panel manufacturers try to shove so many diodes/chips into such a small space? I see this as the biggest weakness of LED panels: real effective coverage area.
If you put 60-80 3w chips into a 16 x 8 box, you are effectively creating not much more than that coverage area with 60 and 90 degree beam angles. Increase the beam angle and increase the coverage area, but lower the penetration.
So why not make bigger panels and spread the lights out more?

A small fixture is convenient for shipping purposes, I believe. But I totally agree with you, the bigger the better; and a bigger fixture can also provide the chips with better cooling. If I decide to build my panel I will size it as close as possible as my growing area.
I agree with the above...but that seems to be an advantage for the manufacturer and not the user, over time.
buy more smaller panels

Just a little perspective of how big that light is....
If an LED panel is going to have big power, it needs to have big size.
