Finding the 'right' solution involves knowing how large an area you're trying to light and what type of fixture is converting watts of electricity into photons of light.
If you would like a response that might help, provide that info.

I recently bought this one and works really good. I previously had a Mars hydro ts 1000 and my plants seem to love the HLG better. Use code RIU10 for a nice discount.

HLG 100 V2 is ideal for a vegging or flowering in compact spaces. Equivalent to 220W T5 or 300W CFL output or 250W metal halide. Samsung LM301H LED

Ok, those fixtures are 100 watts apiece using mid-grade diodes.
Should be good for about 2.5 sq ft/fixture, so you have adequate lighting for 5 sq ft.
Your 4x4 has 16 sq ft, so you need enough power to light the 11 sq ft you have left over.
Minimum of 320 watts of top-tier diodes or 5 more of those mars fixtures should do it.

[/QUO I disagree one Mars hydro 600w and one vipar Spectre 600 is good enough for a 4 by 4 ×4 tent. Actually too much light at times

I want to purchase another LED light I have a Mars hydro and a Viparspectra.. any recommendations

Thats the rig i have. Par600 and TS600. I wanted another light and noticed 2 ts600 is 3x3 veg coverage and cheaper to achieve than the more expensive models. Its easier to replace one small light than a big expensive one. If you are dead set on getting another model. I suggest anything with Samsung, and quantum boards.
