If you can go slightly over that budget, you could get a couple HLG QB96's, a driver, and a little wiring and add 2 of those to the 2 blurples you have for now. Then you could replace those blurples with 2 more 96's when you get more cash. Just an option.

2 QB96's - $136 after code RIU10

2 guys walks into a bar and ask what's on tap, drunk fucker next to him says the whiskey is great. 2 guys say that isn't what they wanted and the drunk guy gets mad and throws a hissy fit.

Do you have amazon prime OP? Or do you know of 2 people that do that you could have buy a light for you?

This light doesn't have the newest diodes or the best driver, but with prime savings and clipping the coupon, it's only $101 for 1-240/260 watt fixture and meets your needs. 2 in a 4x4 should keep your tent happy enough. Dim them a bit to prevent too much heat?

You spent good money on two burples and only got to three grows and now you feel you need more or better lights. If you got the right lights the first time you would get anywhere from 3 to 5 years or more from the one set of lights. You should make do with what you have until you can afford to buy one good light that covers your 4x4 area. With the right light it will be able to move into an even larger tent later on. Settling for a cheap light will have you buying more or better lights again sooner rather than later. Look at the Aceple AG-2600W if you pay attention to the description you see it's only good for flowering a 2x2 foot area. You don't need a lot of light to veg, but flowering is a different story. You need four of these to satisfy a 4x4. So now your at $400+, and what you paid for the burples. It only makes sense to bit the bullet and buy a decent light in the 500 to 700 dollar range. It will pay for itself in the first grow. don't make the same mistake twice

【DIMMING DESIGN & WIDE COVERAGE】This 260W grow light is equipped with a dimming knob so that you can adjust the light intensity according to different growing stages and different plants. Meanwhile, it has a wide coverage area. Very suitable for 3x3 ft or 2x4 ft or 2x2 ft grow tent. Good LED for 3 ft x 3 ft area for seedling veg growth or 2 ft x 2 ft area with fruiting plants.

How about this instead if you want cheap;

For the money you have available you can't get a decent led to flower a 4x4 area, if you want better bud get a bigger budget or buy a hid light.
Proven performance for peanuts :-)

Star Dog, the op doesn't need a HID, he needs to save the extra light bill money cause he'll be looking for a better light soon enough. Sooner or later he'll realize you pay now or you pay later. He's paying along the way too.
