Overlapping light foot prints

I have a room that is 13' by 9'. My usable growing space is going to be about 6' wide by 10 feet long. I would like to put 3 hoods in this room each with a 600w bulb in it. The thing is that if I put 3 hoods in the room and leave space around the edges to walk around, there is going to be some definite over lap in the foot print of light being given off by the hoods. Is that OK?


I am looking at using 3 XXL cool tube hoods. I want to use the XXL hoods to make sure that buds on the outside plants are getting light as well. Cooling is all 8" to keep heat down.

my room is 6x10 and i have 3-1000's in blockbuster hoods. my grow footprint is 4.5x8.5 and the plants love the light.

Yeah you`ll normally over do the heat before you over do the light unless your giving off monster amounts of uv or infa-red but you`d feel the infa-red as heat, any your cool tube would keep the uv down anyway.

if you mean 'will there be too much light in places?' I think that is quite difficult to do.

more lumes the better.... I use 4-1000s in a 10 x 10 ft area using 4 ft wide circular parabolic hoods

Ok. Well, my question looks a little stoopid now when looking at it as a question of whether we can have too much light. I guess it sounds like as long as I have the heat under control we are good to go.
