Question about lighting

I have a 5x5 tent and I could use a little more lighting in it. I have a Viparspectra light in there now and it is kind of blueish because I have the veg and flower switch on at both times and that has did real well for me on other grows. But now I want to ad another small light in there but it shows it being kinda purplish so can these lights be used together with no problems or are the two different colored lights be bad for my grow?

You need a LOT more lighting for a 5x5 tent. That light appears to only draw 300W and you would need 1250W of that type of lighting to have enough power for flowering in a 5x5 tent.

Sorry I should have specified a little more. In my 5x5 tent I have two 600w led lights in there and want to add the 300w light to it also. But it seems to be a little different color on the lights between each other and just didn’t know if it would effect anything negatively if there are two different colored lights in the 5x5

most led lights have red and blue diodes and end up producing purple light.
White light has all colours of light.

no problem

Thank you for your reply’s this has helped me a lot and definitely going to add it to the tent tonight. Seems like a small part of the tent doesn’t have a lot of light on one side and I wanted to add this so there is plenty of light for the lady’s lol
