So what would you guys recommend for a 4x4 grow tent?
you want to fill up a 4x4 grow tent? Seriously, I would use x2 600-1000w HPS on light movers. Stay away from the LED unless you have mastered HID.. Just imagine if your LED bums out during the 4th week of bloom and you don`t know how to fix it or possess a valuable back-up. Another thing, LEDs are NOT designed to be left on more than 16-18 hours per day. They need a cooling period. If you run them 24-hours, expect a short life of maybe 5000 hours.
Another thing.. Everyone listen to this... I bought a BlackStar500 clone from Alibaba and it works great. However, I paid about $290 to have it shipped to my door and the receipt that came with it was in chinese but also sub-texted in English. It noted the sale price of the BlackStar 500 clone was $92.
....Keep in mind, this is a solid steel frame with multiple vents and motorized fans. Link to the exact same item here.

Send them an Email, tell them you know they pay less than $100 each. Tell them you will buy one for $200 shipped, see what happens. ..I worry about websites which don`t have any prices, like the one Jane listed.
