I can't vouch for the quality of the fan/filter but I'd want one of the newer bar style lights with the driver on top of the tent vs inside with the old style (unless you already own the light)
The fc-e6500 is wall to wall for a 4x4, could go with one size smaller
Ok I think I'll buy everything separately to make it perfect, thanks broI can't vouch for the quality of the fan/filter but I'd want one of the newer bar style lights with the driver on top of the tent vs inside with the old style (unless you already own the light)

I'm super happy with my Spiderfarmer 4x4 tent. Considerably higher quality than the vivosun tents. That said, it is more expensive than the vivosuns as well. For the price, I'd say it is well worth it. As far as lights in the 4x4, that little 200w will not be near enough. I have been very happy with my spiderfarmer g300w or g3000 in my 3x3 and would have no issue stepping up to the size recommended for the 4x4. I have also recently been able to get a deal on a couple of the 6"vivosun clip on oscillating fans and love them so far. They are new, so longevity is not yet tested, but they work really well. If smell is a big deal, definitely budget for a quality charcoal filter. All the cheap ones are just that. I'm nearing the end of life on my cheap filters and will be replacing with quality cans when it is time. I'd stick with 6" inline fan for a 4x4 tent. I use passive intake and only run the exhaust.

I have an AC Infinity 3x3 and an AC Infinity exhaust fan. The Tent is great, the zipper works better now than it did 2 years ago. Their fans are basically the industry standard now.
I am not happy with my lights. I have 2 XS 1500 Viparspectra lights, one the older model and one XS1500 pro. They generate a lot of heat. In retrospect I would look for a light that gives you the option of moving the driver outside the tent. I have to keep the fan running close to max to keep the temp under 85 degrees. The ambient temp is 74 [air conditioned bedroom] so a lot of heat being generated.

720 watt LED. Or even 1000 watts. True watts and not “equal to “. If it fits in the tent and dims you won’t be sorry.
