I am looking at getting this light for a little 2' x 2' veg tent and was wondering what your thoughts would be?
It's a 2', 8 bulb, 24W, T5HO that they say is 20,000 lumens/196W

I think 8 lamps is too much for that space. I have a 20" x36" closet tent rocking a two foot four bulb and it's perfect anymore would be added heat that is not necessary in my opinion.

Yeah that's how they usually work when they have 8 bulbs.

The one I bought was this one, for veg I recommend the 6500K bulbs

Depending on your budget and skills you could build a good LED setup for the same tent which is on my to do list as well.
