Here is what I have for lights...all led...
2x 90 watt UFO
2x Area 51 sgs- 160
1x 270 watt advanced spectrum panel
1x 200 watt cob panel from china (they rate it at 400w)

The four big panels have about the same footprint (2ftx3ft at 18 inches from canopy) and both of the UFO cover 1.5ftx1.5ft 6-10 inches off the canopy

Should I put these lights in a 4.7ftx4.7ft tent or have them cover a small room of about 5ftx7ft?

the answer is simple

each of your lights has a core footprint ( a area they do the most power) ..........u need to aline them so the cores are next to each other increase the total Par rating

hang the biggest one over the center that is your starting point ........now the other lights u go around that outer edge so no u have 3 cores from 2 lights

the center core from the big light .......the outside core from the littler lights and the area they over lap is your 3rd core between the 2 lights it should be equal to core power .............u just got the most out of your light

I will now consider this while I hang my lights up. Thanks
