Definitely a lot of choices.
I'd plan on using a 320 watt driver to supply enough power to adequately light that area.
HLG, Timber, PLC, and Rapid offer top-shelf components but don't discount some of the Alibaba offerings from kingbrite or meiju.

I'm a fan of HLG. I would probably get 2 135 Rspec's instead of a 260. Then you could adjust them to different heights if you need. Make sure you're tent is tall enough though since they've powerful. The closest I've been able to get mine is 18" in flower on full power, and that's really pushing it. If you have limited height you might wanna look at some that have a wider spread so they can get closer. There's a lot of great choices out there, and you definitely came to the right place. You're gonna get a lot of recommendations.

I have used the 320 and another 135 in a 4x4 before as well. Grew 3 plants again and got around 500g that time.

Just upgraded to a 550w HLG for the 4x4. Wish I did this from the start. Something you might consider.

That's a good idea too. You know he's gonna want to use the full 4x4 soon, lol.

Yeah its gonna be for flower and they are out of stock and there no info on when they are gonna be avaible
I believe @Grow Lights Australia said he has enough PCB's for a small batch of UV boards now, but he is waiting on more PCB's so he can do a full run of them.

Last Sunday he said he hoped to have more UV boards in stock by the end of next week. He said there have been some delays due to lack of freight carrying passenger planes leaving China. I'm looking to buy several UV boards myself.

Oh that's great but I am not sure if they can ship to US because of this f'cking pandemic
