I have a maxspect razor 160w led light. Wanana upgrade to a 422. Can i know if it suitable for it or i have to upgrade to a bigger light? Can i use a 120degree reflector? Thanks in advance.

I think 4ft may need to hang higher. Maybe can go for 120w x2.. or you scape your rocks to ensure got coverage in middle.

If i use a 120degree reflector will it help?

I have this on my 4 footer Fowlr tank. You don't get much light about 6" from each end of the tank. About 3ft coverage.
Using 120 deg lens will not help much IMO. It will also reduce the penetration of the light as well.

Just my 2cts.

Hanging it higher will reduce the further reduction the light penetration to the bottom of the tank.
If you keeping LPS should be fine but no clam on the sand bed thou.
You can add T5 to supplement the side as you mentioned

I am using it for my 3.5ft tank and my overflow is at the side and covers about .5ft. The side is covered but can see that it is slightly dim. I would say if you are using for a 4ft tank, the both sides will be darker. I am using the default stand and my tank is 2ft tall. If you are using for your 4ft tank, likely you need to hang higher.
