Or if electricity use is not too much of a issue for you and its fairly cheep were you are I suppose you could get some hid lights if your worried about initial cost.Some places sell used hid reflectors and ballasts really cheep. 2 600 watters would be good in that size area but you would get some heat and need good air extraction. You could even get away with 2 400watters in the area. Or if used with the spider farmers one 600 or even one 400 watter would make do. I've seen full set ups (ballast, reflector and new bulb) that are pre- used for £30-£50 where I am which is very cheep. Not sure what that translates to in usa terms if your in the usa. Someone may even be kind enough to help you out with some old unused ones if ther within your vicinity. But hid would only be a better option if your not too worried about the electricity costs . An eg a 400 watt hid vs the 300 watt ufo, the 400 watt hid would definitely light up a much bigger area and will penetrate further down into the canopy too. Plus you could find a used one cheeper than the ufo and the electricity costs wouldn't be much more long term compared to the 300w ufo. Just another option to weigh up.
