Sorry about not providing enough info...What are you looking to accomplish? How much height in your 4x8 space? Do you have any light gear at all right now or starting from scratch? Budget? How many plants? What style of grow? Etc, etc, etc
Have you seen the new 600w ceramic HPS from Hortilux? I am waiting for the bulb as I ahve ballasts and hoiods but the "kits" have been released already...................we need more info to help you out
The environment is easily controlled. Its a large add on room on my house that has its own ac/heater unit separate from the rest of the house. Ambient temp is going to be perfect to pull in the tent to control any heat. The tent will be vented up into the attic and cooler ambient room temp will be pulled in to cycle the air.Ok what is your environment like where the grow will be? Like for example my last spot very hot all year round even with a protable A/C pain in the rear. This spot cooler environment and temps stable all year. If you run CMH or HID can you vent out a window or the room or will the air be circulating and the filters killing the smell and that's it?
Also is wattage an issue as for cost on a monthly basis?
If you can recommend any of the brands on amazon that would be very much appreciatedI can point you to solid 315 kits, if you have the height and want to run the extensions I would then do the 630's. There's also a slick Air Cooled 315 setup you could do..........

Wattage isnt necessarily an issue but it is something I would like to keep low if possible.

I was looking into cobs for a while but I cant justify the high cost for the pre built and I dont feel comfortable building my own.
Well im getting the majority of my stuff through amazon and prime shipping is so nice. They have many cmh setups with 2 day shipping.Is there a specific reason it has to be Amazon?
So if it was me I would do one of four things if we are not talking COB's.........and I had the ability to vent and control environment easily if need be.....and had the two foot Extension
1) (2) 1000K HID Blue MH for veg and HPS for flower
2) (3) 630 DE CMH
3) 8- 315 CMH Air Cooled and vented
4) (3) 600 Watt Ceramic HPS with the Blue MH for Veg..................
Which rabbit hole do you want me to take you down..........?
FYI have you seen these COB's, can't recommend them enough.........

Yes correct and I would show you how to Air Cool the 315's in hoods which will let you get closer than normal to the SCROG................would just need to see if Amazon has it all...........when you're ready I will get you some links to where I know the parts are and you can pay with amazon if you're using a gift card or something......Well im getting the majority of my stuff through amazon and prime shipping is so nice.

Lets choose door number 2 and 3. Would the only difference between the 2 be distribution?
I think the 630's would be the easier option. Seems like the 8 lights would be a lot more expensive than the 3 630's and if you cant daisy chain them all together it would be a nightmare plugging everything in. I was looking at 3 of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071GDSVZY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=A1KBVFFLR1WEMK&psc=1.Yes correct and I would show you how to Air Cool the 315's in hoods which will let you get closer than normal to the SCROG................would just need to see if Amazon has it all...........when you're ready I will get you some links to where I know the parts are and you can pay with amazon if you're using a gift card or something......
The light you linked is a low end fixture with good bulbs but is not a true 630, they're just running (2) Phillips 315 Bulbs in there I would not recommend that especially not just open in that fixture.I think the 630's would be the easier option.

2 SunPlix 630W DE CMH grow lights are enough for a 4x8 tent.I think the 630's would be the easier option.

This is SunPlix 630W DE CMH grow light. It accepts 630W DE CMH, 1000W DE HPS, 1000W DE MH bulbs. In the future, when 1000W CMH bulb is stable, you can use the 1000W CMH bulb also.I think the 630's would be the easier option.

Yes, it is true 630W DE. Please see the photo above.@SunPlix CMH is your 630 CMH a true DE or just two 315 bulbs in one fixture?
Yes I saw the photo but I wanted clarification as the 1000w DE was actual spoken of so I was not sure on which was pictured .Yes, it is true 630W DE. Please see the photo above.
Feel the burn baby@Evil-Mobo Please see below photos.
1. The first is the back of the fixture.
2. The second is installed a 1000W HPS DE
3. The third is installed a 1000W MH DE
