Dimm Optic 8+ LED to use in a small grow tent (30x30x60)?

Hi fellow growers,


At the moment, I have an ongoing grow in a small 30x30x60 tent.
This tent is currently using a 165w LED from Sanlight.


My Optic8+ LED order which I was planning to use in a future grow has just arrived.


Now I'm wondering if I should replace the 165w LED and use the Optic 8+ LED in this small 30x30x60 tent instead?
Or would it be overkill?
Obviously at full power it will be, but could I adjust the levels of the Optic8+ so that it would effectively work in a 30x30x60 tent? If so, at what level should I dial it in?

165 won't quite cut it. You have about half a meter so should be looking at 200+ so use the 550w, though the 165w would veg them fine
