of course it will but more is always better when it comes to lumens, and as that is one big closet have you thought of using like half of it? That would bump the lumens per sq ft up nicely.

yeah,I've got 6000 watts aver an area that size at work here,so you might want to tone it down some,and grow into the big area.Of course,we are overkilling just a wee bit,too.

1500 / foot sounds very small to me. I run the canopy around 9,000 foot-candles, but that's just me.
