How much would it cost you to buy those led floodlights and get them hanging above the canopy? I assume you'll have to buy some sockets too to rig something up o screw the bulbs into right?
What do you realistically think the total cost would be?

Those flood lights on th back will tell you the ACTUAL wall wattage draw. I don't think that light is truly 200w is it?
Lololol. Okay then you're in business buddy. Problem solved.

It is of course only a 135w light but you're also going from 90(probably closer to 60) lumens per watt, to 180+. THREE TIMES The light output. Meaning 200w of the QB would put out the same as 4-600w of those floodlights.

If you plan on only ever using this for Vegging, get the 4000K
But if you'll ever in the future, possibly use it for flowering, or supplemental light for flowering, get the 3000K.

So I shouldn't get the flood lights I wanted cause remember the costing I put is for 4 of those units and if not do you think 200watt CFL will be better?

I think you should buy the Quantum Board kit I linked you.

Problem with them flood lights is they are 200w real power in a small area, they are going to be a bit intense in the centre , plus at 90lm/w they are less efficient than a MH conversion bulb and about the same as a standard MH bulb.
You could use a 315cmh 4200k. (space depending)
Or you could source your own parts locally and build something more suitable.
What space do you cover in veg with your 600mh?

I agree on cmh vegg. Led for vegg gave us some problems, especially using 3000k spectrum. If you go for led-vegg make sure you go for something like 4000k. The extra blue helps with opening the stomata.
