LED Light Advice Might Be Nice

Hi there, new to this community and growing in general. I have my tent set up and I’m just a little concerned about my lighting choice. I chose a “[VIPARSPECTRA Dimmable 3000W LED Grow Light, with with Bloom and Veg Dimmer, Dual Chips Full Spectrum LED Grow Lamp for Hydroponic Indoor Plants Veg and Flower(10W LEDs 300Pcs” , link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0876YB2DY?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_5XT4H7362TATY27DRN6K. I got two for the price of one brand new, its the main reason I bought them. I have a 4x4 grow tent and am going with a DWC set up in 5 gal buckets. So my main question is, will one light be adequate for my tent or do i need both or should i just try and get new lights.

     Much Appreciated, 
           JayK

Those are old tech led lights but each one drawls 650w so run one during veg and use both during flower if you can control the heat

I had that model and it was a bit noisy. Have anyone tried these bar-styled light with no fans?
