Lights in 4x4x6

I ordered some lights that aren't nearly the right amount of lighting for my 4x4x6 tent. Im sending them back. Any recommendations for good lights to cover a 4x4x6 tent? I'm trying to fit 4 plants in there. Also im not rich lol and also im doing LEDs

Country and budget?

For cheap HPS/MH works good if you get a ducted hood to keep the heat down

QBs are the best but looking at around $600 for that space unless u diy or order from Alibaba

You trust alibaba? I've been seeing it mentioned a lot on here

It’s not the best for a 4x4 tent but I run a cmh 315 in mine with no problems. And I run 4 plant but I would recommend less next time I’m gonna do 2 and fill up the tent

I've never baught from them

I use HLG or budgetled myself

https://www.ebay.com/itm/264809640227 2 of these would do

2 of these would give me good coverage right?

I'd go QB over Mars

Mars are not Samsung diodes, I did hear their new one has them, the older diods, but better than Osram in most their lights

Speaking of samsung diodes, what you think of 2 of these?

Similar to the Alibaba lights

No clue on the value of them

Edit

And it's just 100w, you'd need like 5 if them

You also need to figure footprints of what the light covers

Most cover about 6" to each side of the bd itself

My frame is 3'x3' and puts out 500w in my 5x4 tent

Ok so after doing some more homework on lights, I think I might switch to hps, 400 or 600w

600 for sure

I'm all over the place smh but I was looking at this one and just settle for the 1 ft loss of coverage during flowering. What you think?

Pos

Get the HPS

The light is the Third most important factor of success (behind grower choices and genetics) and be 50% of your overall budget minimum.

What is your maximum budget that you are able to spend at one time on a light? You can buy them modularly and upgrade as you gather resources and that is a respectable option.

Go at least 600w HPS if not 1kW.

My max at one time is 250. 300 or so if I gotta grab 2. Also HPS is more costly by the month on my electric bill thats why I was trying to stick with LED. But I will sacrifice if needed. Best to do it right or not at all
