Question 1

would two of these maximize a 4x4 foot tent? or would it be better to have two of the 600w? (would two 600s be overkill for a 4x4 tent)

Accepted Answer

I have one p450 in a 4x4 tent and it really isn't enough. I called the platinum company and they said that one would work but two would be even better. two 600s would be overkill. I just bought another 450 and it is perfect having two in my 4x4 tent. keep in mind as they explained to me you may have to redo your watering schedule and not water as often. with leds you have less heat in the tent so you may not have to water as often. platinum is very good about answering any questions you may have. if you do two 450 in a 4x4 it will kick butt.

Question 2

does this led light actualy use 450watt

Accepted Answer

Hi Chris.. The actual power draw of this light is around 260w with both switches on.  The 450w designation comes from the fact that there are 150 x 3w diodes which equals 450w.  The problem is that wattage of LED grow lights is expressed both ways by manufacturers both in "max" and "average/actual" and there's no one way to express it.  As such, we need to display the "max" since that's what most other manufacturers are doing.  We always list the actual power draw as well. NOW>> VERY VERY IMPORTANT>>  Please remember that wattage draw does NOT dictate the final growing power at ALL.  What matters is the actual PAR value that the light emits.. which is physically how bright the light is.  You can have two lights that draw the same or similar amount of power and one can be WAY brighter than the other.  It's not the watts.. it's the PAR and spectrum.  In fact, we have a comparison video that shows this where we compared the P450 to another light that draws more power and uses 5w LEDs.. yet puts out around half the PAR with an inferior spectrum.  It's very, VERY important to choose wisely when it comes to these lights as the differences are very real and will pay you back many times over if you choose correctly.

Question 3

How is this product shipped? Will it come in a standard Amazon box which contains the manufacturers box?

Accepted Answer

Yes, manufacturers unmarked box inside an Amazon box. Unmarked in an unmarked box :)

Question 4

what the lumen output of this lamp is?

Accepted Answer

Hi Talia.. Grow lights are properly measured in terms of PAR, not lumens. These numbers are available on the site, in the listing and even live tested along with spectral analysis in the posted video.  Feel free to get in touch should we be able to help further!
