How to choose the right lamp?

Hi everyone!
This is the first time I'm gonna grow weed. I therefore started trying to recruit as much infos as possible.

I decided to grow in a 1,2x1,2x2mt (4x4 feet) grow tent. I'm in Italy and I have to grow indoor and stealth and I don't want to make stupid choices, for this reason I'd like to build up a well very well equipped tent.

What light would be better (considering the value for money too) for the aforementioned space (4x4)?

Surfing the web like a californian beach-boy I came up with few choices.

This is the one I am more inclined to buy....but I have a (bad) feeling... I never heard of this Danish brand, they say they build these lights but I never seen them anywhere else.

Anyway, this is the link:
https://www.lumeri.it/lumeri-cob1500.html

The Brand is LUMERI EUROPE from Denmark...anyone knows the brand?!

Other possible choices are:

This is the brand site with detailed explanation. At the end of the page you'll see a chart with 3 different lampa: 150w - 300w - 450w, The one displayed (with 2squares of leds to be claear) is the 150w, I'd go for the 450w (which is like three of the 150 on a daisy chain but without chain, lol.

I found a pic of the effective lamp here:
https://www.indoorpassion.com/led-coltivazione-indoor/88-cultilite-led-450w.html#idTab5

https://cultilite.com/products/led-light-emitting-diode/

The last but not least is this one:

https://www.ledcoltivazione.com/prodotto/heavengrow-led-pulsar-9

As you see it's bigger and well discounted and the brand is well known. But obv is the most expensive one...and I'm also a bit troubled by the fact that it might be too much in a 4x4 tent, I wouldn't burn my plants! (as it's writtten it covers a 5x5 in flowering).

What would you go for? My total budget would be around 1000$ so...

I'd go for a DWC hidroponic system (this one: https://growrillahydroponics.com/en/hydroponics-products/hydroponic-and-aeroponic-systems/hydroponic-systems-growrilla/rdwc-4/) ...so that you know better what do I need the lights for exactly.

Well, thanks for your help and suggestions. Please consider that being in Europe many brands have no reseller and delivery expenses are just too much therefore I have to rely on a european reseller, even better if italian.

Hope to read you soon! Thanks for your welcome here in your great forum! Ciao!!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
