daaaaamn that's a big tent, you need enough photosynthetically active photons to provide at least 500 to 1000 umol/s in every area for flowering, 300 to 600 for veg, without getting too deep with spectrum ecc. You may need more lamps to provide a more uniform footprint. Usually lamps producers publish some charts with PPF values in a certain area at a certain heigh. for example, if you have a lamp that provides the right amount of light for a 4x4 space, in the case of your tent you may have to pick two of those and space them properly.. i'll suggest do a bit of research for what is worth the money you are paying, with LED being not so cheap.. i am an LED lover and i grow only under these fixtures since around 4 years ago, and things are really getting better and more efficient. Maybe if you get the right pick you would be able to run two 400-500 watts LED lamps

2 of the Gavita or Fluence style LED bars should cover that space. That’s what I ordered for my shed that’s about that size. I’m not sure if I trust the PAR charts from the manufacturer though. They should be here tomorrow so I guess I’ll find out.
