Do u have some brand u recommend or something like that?
I would look into LED qb style boards. HlG, Spiderfarmer, marshydro, electric sky to name a few. I know mars and spiderfarmer have a few 400 watt leds. With a quality led I like to shoot for 35 to 40watts per sq foot. You would need 4 of the 400 watters if my math is right. Leds would save a ton on electric over hps. The rule of thumb for hps is 50 watts per sq ft.
Do you plan on flowering the whole 12m² as canopy? Typical hps setup there is about 1 600 watt hps per square meter. You could certainly get into different sized led fixtures, but good stuff for that size space will get expensive.
