get yourself one of those cheap infrared temp guns, check the leaf temps under the light.. if the room is 30 C degrees.. what is that, 85 F? The temp of the leaves under the light are going to be higher. They will taco under heat stress, especially in a lower humidity environment.

Yes less a few watts for the fans. Your going to need more light to flower.

In a 4x8 tent you should be aiming for at least 1120 watts of quality LED light or 1600 watts of the kind you're running.
35w per square foot of good LED light or 50w per square foot of lesser quality lights.

If you want to max out the square footage you will need more light. Otherwise tuck the plant under the lights in maybe a 4x5 area.
