Check out timber grow lights, they have ready made units, some that are kits if you want to making the mounting frame yourself.

Get some screw-in LED bulbs, take the bubbles off and aim for 25W per sqft, all good.
Or is your space 2mX4mX4m ? ;-)
You're looking at around 200w of SIL LED power to cover the whole thing.
Choose either 2700k for everything or something else, it does not matter. Red vs. Blue is old tech, white LEDS are intense enough to make it work not matter if more warm white or cold white.

Best,

Timber Grow Lights 200Watts

Timber Grow Lights 200Watts

I would recommend the Timber 200watt Cree COBs, 2 3' angle aluminim, nylon ties, door bell wire, all at Lowes. You can make a nice 3 foot, 200 watt, dim-able light that works well in a 2x4x4. The driver for the light can hang outside the tent. Here's some pics of a 2x4x6 grow w/said lighting. Hope this helps.
Stay safe!!!
Success w/ya grow!!! :canabis:

200Watts of COBs

200Watts of COBs

Here's a pic of the basic assembled rig. 2 3' angle aluminum and nylon ties that hold the heatsinks in place, very light weight. I also hot glued the heatsinks in place as an after thought. One pic of canopy almost ready.
Again, hope this helps.
Stay safe!!!
Success w/ya grow!!! :canabis:
