Lights Advise

HTH, if you're stuck with using that tent you're going to either keep the plants really squat(most qb type fixtures need 20" headroom from the canopy) or use multiple light strips run at lower wattage/strip.
8 sq ft of canopy will need about 240 watts of top-tier diodes, so 2 qb panels or as many strips as you can afford/fit into the space.
If you're somewhat mechanically inclined, a simple DIY solution would be a aluminum baking sheet as a frame/heatsink for strip lights.

Thanks, from what I read for SF1000 lights people say more like 12 to 18" height, which seems better that other types of led from what I can see. Any recommended strip lights to have a look at?
 
I have them about 100cm during veg, and about 50 during bloom. I got the TGL 220 and last grow that was all I relied on for a 1x1m space so put it quite high to get full coverage. Got me 2 60w TGLs aswell and planning to get me 2 more next months to really get an even spread and penetration.

I did get 200 grams of dry flower on 1x1m last grow, and it was my first time indoors (including alot of misstakes and so on), so the TGL seems to be a very good light.
 
Ok thanks. Probably not suitable for my setup, just a 5' tent. I'm worried about running out of height so am kinda looking for lights that can go quite low. The QB types seem to fit the bill better in that regard as I understand it. I would sacrifice a bit of yield to have the peace of mind .
