best light options for my tent

just purchased the tent in the picture

cant decide on what lights ill need to get full coverage

im hoping to grow 8 plants

im thinking my options are

1 x 1000 watt dim-able hps

1 x 600 hps

2 x 400 hps

i would just go with a 600 but with the tent been so long im worried it wont quite get enough coverage

so yeah how would you all go about setting up the lighting in this tent ?

Two 400 watt should be perfect. Too long a footprint for a single fixture . However if buying new there's not much difference between the 400, 600 and 1000. I would buy two 1000 watt dimmable myself.

cheers for that ..yeah i didnt realise how cheap you can get the dimmable ballasts for ..i think 2 1000 watt dim able is the way to go ..at least that way ive got full light coverage and the option of upping the wattage if i need to

Also consider air cooled reflectors. In line, single fan for them. It will be more than worth the initial cost. Go short on other supplies to do this.
