It depends on what your doing. Apparently they are more like 16"x16" than 24x24 when it comes to higher light animals. to break 100 par at the sandbed with 36" above the bottom (24" deep + 12" above water level), you have to have some overlap in light, so its more like 2 Lumia per 24" square to get the intensity required.

I ran 2 lumia 5.2 over a custom 150g (48x30x24)... kept sps on the sandbed. Blue/violet channels at 100%, white channel at 40%.
I originally started with a diy hybrid tek t5 that I build because I thought I would need the added light output. Dropped 4 of the 6 t5's off after a month, and then no t5's after 2 months and just run the leds.
You will be fine with 3 of the 5.2, and proper rock scaping if you want some pieces in higher light conditions.
I'll post a pic of my 150 in a little bit
