Light vs Space - Am I overthinking this?

I’m starting my first grow in a 2x4x5 tent. I’ve got one 600w comzler LED with a veg/bloom switch. After reading that it only covers a 2x2 space, I ordered another. I know it’ll pull less than that from the wall however. I was going to try my hand at 4 white widow autos in 5gallon squats. Am I asking for trouble with two 600w LEDs? They’re on the cheaper side. I’ve invested in a good growing medium for my plants to grow happy and healthy, I’d hate to kill them with too much light.

Please ignore my humble ignorance. Thank you for your patience and any responses are greatly appreciated. I looked around the sub and couldn’t find a clear answer.

You won't kill them with too much light with two of those lights. You'll be better off with two lights.

100w at the wall x2. A bit underwhelming for the tent but you can do it. Your tent will prob run hot though. Plan sufficient air flow.

These seem to have decent heat sinks. I’m growing in a garage through the colder months in Michigan so it may benefit me.

When you say underwhelming, do you think I’m in for low yields? Would you think I’d get the same yield from two plants under the same light?

Thanks again.

I'm not an expert by ANY means but it's all circumstantial. You may actually be able to produce amazing yields with these light or regardless of the lights. Some people grow with a single small bulb but use good nutes and employ good techniques. You'll just have to find out. And also, If your first round doesn't produce what you're looking for...don't immediately blame the lights. Try again and evaluate all factors as you go.

Right. Cool man, thanks for the input. Seems there’s a positive and a negative scenario for every question. Cannabis has been growing with dirt and sunlight forever. Just trying to keep that in mind and not overthink it.
