Is 1800 watts too much for a 5'x5'x7.5' tent?

I have seven plants in my 5x5 indoor grow tent. I have a 1000 watt light in there, along with an 800 watt light.

I would note that I do not have the lights dropped down super close to my plants.

Are thy dimmable?
You need to use a light meter to determine how much photon coverage they give off
It seems like a LOT of light
what are the models of the lights
what about HEAT…how are you compensating for the energy exchange

One of the lights is Bloom Grow 800 watt (I do not think it is dimmable).

The other is a BLOOMSPECT Upgraded 1000W LED Grow Lights with Veg & RED & Bloom 3 Modes.

It is about 70 degrees in our basement. The tent matches that temp.

Thanks…The Bloom Grow is a High end light…not sure what the diodes are, I questioned in Amazon t see if Samsungs are used…It is Controllable
The BLOOMSPECT is NOT REALLY 1000w…It is good for seedlings and has the ability to flower but it is a LOW END light
Together, they make a GOOD PAIR. I use very similar. I add: UVA/UVB and Deep Blue…cheap 25w…What you have is perfect for your tent…
If you can maintain a 70°…you got a perfect environment.
