i agree with whoever said kingbrite 240-320 watts. lm301b diodes. (that gets you quality diodes for cheap)
Any light that mejiui or kingbrite sells in the 240 watt and 320 watt option are going to be great for your setup! with your budget i would go ahead and grab one of those lights with the lm301h version leds. (they are the newest most efficiant chip on the market......its a step up from the lm301b's but not enough to break the bank over. )
you can go with name brand HLG or spider , gavita, ect... those are expensive as hell but they are sold in the US for fast delivery.
(that gets you the same quality diodes plus the frame and wiring are a step up from the kingbrite/meijui lights)

SF2000 is a nice budget light 2x4 veg and flowering. on amazon around $299 shipped.
and it's thin to help with height restrictions you can manage it easier.

But an hps in a 2x4x4 would give the grower heat issues wouldn’t it? And restrict space?
Serious question tho... I never used hps.

2x4x4 is just not going to happen period. not with 1000w hps. you would have anywhere to put the plant.

Tan and cook some hot dogs at the same time. You could even make money off both the tanning and the hot dogs.

Ah, stay away from anything on Amazon that isn't HLG lol....
HLG 600 is 600 true watts and offers better performance than most low to mid-priced double-ended 1000W.. Compare PAR maps and you will see.
If you want the Crème de la crème then go for HLG 650R, this lamp offers better performance than 1000W DE Gavita in 5 x 5, it will beat it in terms of yield per watt, and higher quality end product, and best of all it will do so with fewer watts.
Another reputable company you can trust is Timber Grow lights, owner/companies solid and been around for years.
Gavita LED and Fluence also offer better than HID performance but you'll pay for it with your wallet, yet performance is not better than HLG or Timber, so if you want value and bang for buck, I'd go with either of the latter companies rather than the former.
