48" LED on 60" tank?

I currently have a Maxspect razor 48" light and am upgrading to a deep dimension 250 which is 60" wide. I was told this light fixture should be fine for the tank, I may just need to put a smaller type fixture towards the front of the tank. Anyone care to comment?

The 48" led may cover 60" but I suspect you may have to hang it higher to get that much spread. And raising it may cover you front to back as well. How wide is the tank... and how deep?

I have a 48" fixture on my 5x2x2 tank and don't mind it at all. You will have low par on the ends of the tank. Makes a good spot for LPS.
