LED linear high bay lights

[Grownincanada]

I have access to very high output LED light fixtures for commercial applications. High bays and street lights.They come in the standard "kelvin" colours. 2700k, 3000k, 4000k, 5000k and 6000k, I am considering using a 5000k,240 watt fixture that produces about 28800 lumens for my 2x4x4 grow box. Do you think the 5000k output will be adequate for flowering in a SOG set up of that size? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I use 3500k cree leds in my diy lights. The 3000k or 4000k would do better. The main concern is the spectrum. I would research the spectrum these light emit and compare it to the spectrum of the cree leds. If it matches pretty close, mostly the red you should be fine. Also, keep them a little high from the plant to start, see how they do. How many watts are they? If possible run 2, a 3000k and a 4000k. If you are not sure on the spectrum, reply with the brand and model info of the light and I can take a look.

I would recommend going with the 3000k, 2700k or the 4000k, 3000K would be my 1st personal choice, unless they had a 3500k.
