I prefer the bar style, there’s a lot of good options. Look for Samsung LM301 series diodes.
600w minimum, preferably higher.

I use a 480w bar type lighting with driver outside of the tent to help keep it cool inside.

I also have added additional red, far red and UVA.

Lots out there. Good advice here but do some good research. Customer support/top bin diodes/ in your max budget category. This is the most important buy so be happy with it and make it a 1 time too big light. Tent grows into light.More is better here. Have fun filtering through the overload…
just my opinion. I did not do that…regretted it.

Maxisun PB4000 , Cali Grow Lights 250 pure watts , Geek Tech , Optic Slim 650S , Bava Green led , Photontek , Mygro Lights , Marshydro new light , spider farmer , HLG , chinese google alibada , its many panels out there now that works , but Apache Tech AT600’s is what i know is the cream of the crop from what ive experienced in lights .
Ac Infinity Grow lights , Cree II Cob leds still works or MH/ HPS still does the job also 
Depends on how much u wanna spend. The more u can spend on a light the better the end results will be as long as all other conditions fall good for u. Scorpion diablo by hlg would be superior in a 5x5 4x4 even better lol. I have a scordp and a 260xl in a 4x7x8 room and it works awesome
