It depends, I used 4x 240w for 9 plants in a 5x5.
Now I like space so I can get in with the plants to maintain them, with 9 plants the doors open and light and smell spills out, I don't like it.

Now I put 6 under a 750w bar light in full flower using 3.5/4ft square sectioned off.

They're under a 400w mh atm in 2.5 x 2.5ft I'll swap it to the 750w bar light when required.

The difference they reflectors make is considerable, 20% at the wall and 7% in the centre.

I’ve got 2 -1000 watt led’s in my 4x8 but never use them full blast 650-700 is usually my peak use in flower, about 350-400 in veg( probably could get by with less in veg also) . In another 4x4 i’ve got a 500 watt led with a 100 watt led also during flower.
