What sort of light should I use if I'm only growing 2 plants max?

What sort of light should I use if I'm only wanting to grow plants? It's my first time.

Well people might say CFLs, but I needed more bang and pow than CFLs could ever give me...I don't need much, but I want what little I have to really do their thing ya know...So I use a 400w MH for veg and a 400w CMH for flower...I have been known to let my hobbies get the best of me...
It's alright though you can grow all manner of other things in any unused well lit spaces...
But HID lighting is the route to take for serious results, with one plant or 12

But I started with CFLs... and can tell they will grow, but as I said no bang, no pow... But you don't have to deal with too much heat, and they don't draw too much power...then again if you used enough CFLs to get the bang and the pow then you would have spent more on fixtures and wires and sockets and bulbs and electricity then if you had just gone with the HID lights in the first place...at least that is how I feel about growing with CFLs...

Aim for ~140w to 200w of actual led power. If you can add more power, you will likely get better results. Blackstars are good entry level leds but just be aware their advertised wattage is higher than actual. Good luck.

Fluorescent shop lights ( t8 ). or t5 high output fluorescent are both pretty low heat and produce good results. T5 is more expensive but is better, the t8 lights are cheap and give some good smoke too. I prefer those over cfl lights because they are more efficient than cfl and spread the light out better too.

What you spend on lights shows in the end product, it's much harder to get great looking buds with cfls or t8 lights than it is if you were to use a hps or led setup. T5 h/o is almost as good as hps but produces a fraction of the heat.

If you are considering led lighting then I would go with a brand that gets good reviews on here, some of the led panels are cap and are a total waste of money. While blackstar panels work I don't like them because they lie about the product, my 240 uses 2w diodes and only draws 130w, which is 110w under what I thought I was paying for. They do work pretty well though, just over the last year some better options have come that rival the blackstar price that don't lie about what their product is.

You could use a 250w HID (high pressure sodium or metal Halide) too, but with an hid light you are adding alot of heat and the risk of fire goes up a bit with it.
