Hey hey brothaman. :smokebuds:
I would recommend checking out the Blackstar 240W LED (

http://www.gothamhydroponics.com/featured-products/lighthouse-hydro-blackstar-chrome-270w-led-grow-light-fsf.html).
Tons of folks on here (myself included) use the Blackstar 240W and have had great results with them. One would be sufficient for that space, although two would really beam your ladies nicely with photon love. That would run you around $550-$575 for two, maybe a little less if they make you a deal for buying two.
For less than the cost of two 240W's, you could own one Blackstar Chrome 270W (+/- $450). They have more PAR output than the 240W's and run much cooler. Here's the description of the Chrome:
"We are proud to introduce the 2013 Lighthouse Blackstar Chrome Series. The new Blackstar Chrome represents the most powerful and most energy efficient grow light in the world with no exceptions. Simply put, there is no light on the planet that will put out more PAR per dollar spent. Typical PAR output of the chrome series is 3X to 4X more than a comprable Blackstar (non-chrome) and up to 8X that of a typical Chinese LED light. The proof is on the thousands of forum postings on Blackstar lights.
Blackstar Chrome series lights are meant for the advanced grower and those who wish to use LED in conjunction with traditional HID (HPS & MH) lighting systems. Because of the patent pending lens system, penetration is increased, PAR is increased, and the ability to “back the light off” of the canopy is now possible. Don't be fooled by knockoff's that look similar because internally the chips and the lenses are NOT the same. These lights are ideal for plants that can utilize maximum PAR output. It is possible for these lights to produce too much PAR for some plants! For this reason the chrome is recommended for experienced growers who know their crop well.
The first Blackstar Chrome was created in June 2011 and we have been testing in actual growing environments ever since. Our Patent Pending lens design has evolved and has been continuing to evolve ever since. Essential oil production from plants that can tolerate the increased PAR is typically increased by 15-20% under the Blackstar Chrome. With over 5 years and tens of thousands of grows, the team at Lighthouse Hydro has developed the most advanced light, lens and beam angle combination of any lighting company. The wavelengths and LED chipsets used have been painstakingly refined to deliver the maximum yield for any gardening venture.The Blackstar Chrome was redesigned for maximum reliability. The chrome operates 30 degrees cooler than the previous Blackstar series."
I'm planning on snagging a Chrome 270W for my next lighting purchase. I think there are some folks around here who are running them. Might be worth looking into bro. I would definitely avoid cheap Chinese-made LED's at all costs. You get what you pay for.
Just my
