While I was looking at the xs2000 on Amazon, I came across this grow light that is from the same exact company but cheaper and has more wattage. https://www.amazon.com/VIPARSPECTRA-Upgraded-Spectrum-Dimmable-Hydroponic/dp/B083JVVZSM

I used vipar xs2000 in a 2.5x2.5 x 5' it works great good light for the buck! Good harvest for 1 plant

I decided to buy the xs2000 and have it up and running! Should I be able to put it at 100%?

Lol man I almost fried mine at first. In veg I never went past like 60%

I’d start it at 50 and knock it up 5% every few days until you see problems.
