I would think 4x4 in flower and even larger footprint in veg..here is some info from their website.
The Equinox 1000 utilizes the latest LED technology available from Samsung to deliver an impressive 1057μmol/s. Drawing only 465 watts this light offers a 56% energy reduction when replacing a 1000W HPS light. Trichome production is increased by 15% - 20% and crop cycle is decreased by 7 - 10 days. Cooling costs are reduced by over half. Expect 90,000 hours (20 years @ 12hrs/day) of use with less than 10% light depreciation. Proudly manufactured in Canada this light is backed by a 5-year full replacement warranty. The rugged workhorse design makes this fixture the obvious choice for growers seeking a high production and low energy lighting solution.
BENEFITS:
Increased Yields and Trichome Production
Lower Energy Consumption
Reduced Cooling Requirements
Robust High Efficiency Design
Additional Flowering Cycle Each Year
TOP FEATURES:
Canada’s first LED horticultural light meeting all UL safety standards and is proudly manufactured in Waterloo, Ontario.
Complies with UL1598 for horticultural lighting electrical safety standards.
A thermal protection auto-dimming feature guarantees the fixture will never over heat or reach temperatures that could degrade the components and shorten its lifespan.
A manual dimming feature allows growers to conserve energy when plants are at early stages of development.
The rugged high-grade aluminum design ensures this fixture can be utilized in tough working environments with minimal risk of damage.
There are no mechanical cooling fans to clean or service.
Tested and certified for high humidity environments.
Minimal heat output lowers the growers cooling capacity requirements as well as energy costs.
All electronic components are of the highest quality brands including Samsung LEDs and Mean Well power supplies. No off-brand components have been used in the manufacturing of this light fixture.
IF Lighting’s proprietary LED driver ensures consistent light output from all LEDs.

For what it's worth, why didn't they (among other similar designs) design it with an outboard PS. THEN, the light bars could be closer together in the center, OR...
Fluence uses the original BML SPYDR 600 design with driver inside the spine with bars hanging down that can slide close together, or spread to 4 feet
The design is great, but the execution, not so much. Hopefully they have improved on the sliding bar integration with the spine

Spydrx is 5 years warranty if you do you call and get a additional (2 years ) to your 3 years befor your order for 50 bucks extra per light . Just lame in my opinion they don’t put that on their website or choose that without calling them
With a PPFD of 428 you will not get very good quality for flower. That is at 18" in there flyer. This tells you nothing about what size area this is at. So lets figure it out for ourselves.
4X4=16 square feet
16/10.76=1.49 square meters
1067/1.49=716 PPFD in a 4x4 area
That is on the weak side for flowering in a 4x4 area. That is assuming no lose to walls.
5x5=25
25/10.76=2.32
1067/2.32=459.25 PPFD in a 5x5 area
Good for veg but to weak for flower.
So stick with a area 4x4 or smaller for flower and a area of about 5x5 to 5.5x5.5 for veg. At 5.5x5.5 the PPFD is 379.5.
