4 4x8 table 8000 watt room lighting question

I've got my 16x20 room built now -

Air sealed closed environment with a/c, dehumidifier, c02 generator, wired for 220V -
8" steel ducting with 770 CFM Fan exhaust to outside.

Now I have to make a decision on lighting. I've got 8 1000 HPS ballast on the way, but what do you think about hoods? Like I said its 4 - 4x8 tables - so Ive narrowed it down to 4 60" Dual cool tubes - or 8 Magnum xxxl's.

The tables are all set up side by side to allow for maximum light sharing - so a wide light dispersion is actually O.K.

THOUGHTS?

are you gonna use a generator? if not i think this type of electricity use would definately throw up a red flag. any how i would go with the magnum xxxl because you are going to use an a/c and they would have better coverage than a cooltube.

Any pics of said grow room? And ya, the generator suggestion is something worth looking into...I have a buddy with a larger grow like this and he uses one. Plus, with so much invested, if your power goes out or something like that, you're still running...but it sounds like you've got a considerable amount of money already invested in this project, show us some photos!

I almost forgot about this thread....lol.

I ended up going with the magnum XXXL - 2 per 4X8 table on 2 tables,
and 2 3X6 tables with a 1000W HPS on a mover on each. I want to be
able to keep my WWidow in separate trays since they take so long to
finish flowering. I'll be Vegging on 4 - 4' 8 bulb T5s for 4 weeks prior to
flower in another room. I really like vegging on these things - TONS of nodes.

I'll do a pictorial of my progress tomorrow !
