The light will. You will need to pick the correct fixture or reflector to get it to fit though.
There must be several grow journals on this site with people using the secret jardin.
I'd look at 10-15 of them real quick and take notice to what lights people are using in them
and what kind of results they are having.

the secret jardin was about 150.00 more (per tent), than the others i was gonna buy. thats 300.00 more than i could have spent. 300 more on 2 zips of fire, 3 hookers for the night, ect. they do have a secret jardin tent thats 5' or 5.5', perfect for your use. you get what you pay for. either buy a elcheapo tent and have it last maby 1 grow, or buy a higher quality tent and have it last 3+grows. bottom line its your call and your money.

in my 4x4x7 tent, i was planning on only flowering 4 plants at a time in either 3g or 5 gallon pots with little room left over. in a 2x2 room, i dont think you'll get 4 plants in there in 3 gallon pots. you might, but its gonna be super tight. not sure about the yeild of a 250. im hoping to get 2.5/plant in my grow.

In a closet, handled carefully, I think the cheaper one would hold up. Honestly I'd call them and ask them flat-out about a 400 watt in cool tube.
I would want to flower with anything under that and I've ran 400s in both mine when I used them. I did have a top-of-the-line vortex fan cooling
them though.
