best led lights for my growing space?

The coverage area seem suspicious...
I have two of them just wondering if anyone has used them i have been running a Viperspectra 600 watt with good results moved into a bigger tent with autopots all new
265 actual watts for core coverage of 5.5 x5.5 ,about 30 sq.ft.
Max coverage of 6'x6',hanging heights 24-48''...
Something got lost in translation surely...I'm using blurples too in my second tent with good results.It works,just that those numbers are off IMO.

So what should I do if it's made for 4x4 but I have a 5x5? Just do less plants than originally planned?

I have a 5x5 Tent roughly the same height as well. I started off with 1000W DE-HPS/MH for veg and flower but the heat was so effin annoying to control all the time plus the power for heat control and to run the jesus lights.. Now I ran mine at like 650W and did a smaller footprint in my tent at times to help with heat. Eventually I got into autos and doing perpetual grows so I wanted something that was low on heat, low power draw but that was super efficient and could be more versatile in terms of adjustments. Like @MrOldBoy said, Cobs make sense because you can scatter them throughout the tent at various heights as the plants grow and need them. Some plants are just straight pickles and can't handle the light intensity so you need to be able to pull back but not dramatically effect the other plants. What @Damien50 is spot on too in terms of value and output but just a different flavor. FYI I ended up with 6 Autocobs from cobshop.net because there is lots of info and lots of great results with them. Example below. Everyone who has chimed in has a ton of great info and experience so you can't go wrong either way, just need to figure out what tickles your fancy and how you want to grow. Best of luck brother!
Just having trouble picking a light right now. I’m kinda sketched out of the Chinese alibaba site after my friend told me he bought stuff unrelated to growing that’s been fake from it. Also need something for my 5’ by 5’
Those autocobs are sweet. Small and powerful looks like they are easier to hang. The panel can be a pain in the butt to adjust.

Yeah I really enjoy them.. no moving parts.. come with their own adjustable hangers which can slide up and down easy. They don't require a ballast and they just use a regular two pronged plug which is great for extension cords/powerbars. They draw less than .50 amps.. so theoretically you could plug in 30 of them into a normal 15amp electrical wall plug.
Actually those with a few of the Autocobs you can hang them so their footprint overlaps and you can cover a larger area. As opposed to trying to use one or two panels to cover a 5ft spread in both directions.
