I might point you towards the @Marshydro TS-1000? It should fill that space well, comes with a dimmer, and is reasonably priced. It's pretty strong for a small tent.
Budget? There are definitely fancier options out there. I have one of the TS-1000 for my 2.3x2.3 and it's a workhorse of a light.

Is the light more white or yellow. I really would rather a white light. Budget is $200

It will be hard to find a commercially available ready to run/plug and play light in just a 5000k-6500k spectrum. You could make your own easily with Samsung sunboards with heatsinks a mean well driver and 2 pieces of aluminum channel. https://growdaddyleds.com/products/...ds-with-450mm-heatsink?variant=32483316564023
Unfortunately I'm not handy at electronics

What are you trying to accomplish with the light? A straight up 5000k or 6500k is not a great choice for a grow without additional supplemental leds.

For plug and play full spectrum and under 200...I'd have to say the MH TS1000. You could get away with the TS600 but will most likely find yourself wanting to upgrade so might as well go with the TS1000......Been running 2 or 3 in my 2 x 4 and now my 3 x 5 tent for about a year and a half now and still going strong... Works great in veg and flower.
I'll go with the mars hydro ts 1000 it's close enough and does have some 5000k in it to off set the yellow. I just don't like yellow light is all. Years ago I grew throughout the whole grow with a 400w MH. It's not about yield for me.

Ahh okay, any of the balanced quantum boards available these days will provide a far more white appearance. The TS1000 will be a great choice for what you want.
A balanced led light will have approx 1/3rd 5000-6500k and 2/3rd at 3000-3500k with some additional 660nm led's.
