My suggestion for lighting would be 250 Watts of metal halide or HPS (400 Watts is more suited to 90 cm x 90 cm / 3' x 3'). They're much more efficient than compact fluorescents so you'll get lots more light (up to two-and-a-half times the lumens for the same Wattage), but you may have height...

This is some lamp data I've collected and thrown into a table.
Maybe someone will find it useful.

Hello RIU :)
I made a few charts/graphics over the last year which I think others have found useful so, I thought I'd stop by and drop them off in the hope that they might be helpful to some of the people here.
