Ur asking a lot lol. Most people try and get about 700ppfd average across canopy, that looks something like this.

I would just search for Mars Hydro FC 4800 grow journals and reviews, I've seen quite a few around the different forums, it's a common light with that wattage.

Depending on the brand it might be worth getting the 720 and buying another one once you’ve got abit more spare cash. But 2 480s are gonna be fine in a 4x8 I would imagine (depending on brand). It is on the low side of what would be considered ideal but would deffo work.

I use bar style lights 480w in a 4x4. I still consider myself a rookie, so know it can definitely look better.

2 4x4 bar lights like these, any sort of Spydr knockoff, might be the easiest option to get an even canopy.
