optimize based on the limiting factor

Your questions did get answered properly. Look at how now you're getting more specific answers because you have since given more information and restated your question. I wasn't being rude, I was answering the posed yet undefined question. Since your question became more defined and specific, @Roger A. Shrubber was able to give more specific answers due to his awesome GOOGLING skills. If you don't agree with what he says or his MATH skills then figure it out yourself since you're the PHYSICIST!
You are still rude and dont read or understand my text. I am sorry for your lack or reading skills. I posed a precise question from the start.

dude, this is a website for pot heads, some potheads happen to physicist, but apparently none of them are interested in helping you. sorry my grasps of physics isn't sufficient for the problem at hand.
i understand your original question isn't very valid. one of your parameters (the size of the room) isn't pertinent to the question as long as it meets or exceed the minimum required, which is does handily, therefore that parameter can be ignored, and your whole question is invalid.

and you were not clear about your available power, you made it seem like you were limited to 10 kwh per month total, not 10 per hour.
granted, that would be a very small power allowance, but i thought perhaps you were living in a dorm or some other facility where they might monitor it.

The question is valid. Please reply only If you can understand the question and contribute with facts. Yes, Room size can be ignored. That is what I wrote from the start. The question I posed is what is the optimal light intensity to produce highest yield in watts per area.

My Power not that important either. I stated that I was interested in the case where electricity is limited and space is not. If I have 10 times that the question and answer Will still be the same.

plants require roughly 20 watts per sq ft in veg and 40 in flowering, as a minimum. more is better. 75 per sq foot is pretty much the top end of the useful range, 65 is "optimum". makes absolutely no difference how much room you have, the plants have requirement that have to be met, thats your limiting factor if power is limited and space isnt.
i believe i answered you...the rest of this has been...
