Grow Lights should be "Sized" by Grow Area and Plant Specific Growth Stage...
download/file.php?id=5049
2' * 2' = 4 sq ft * 0.093 (m/sq ft) = 0.372 m2 or ~ 0.4 m2 (sq m)
0.4 * 600 PPFD = 240 PPF (required LED Output)
240 PPF / 19.76 PPF per Strip = 12.2 Strips ( ~ 13 Strips required)
240 PPF / 2.03 PPE (LED Efficacy) = 118 Watts, ~ 120 Watts (min)
