What's the actual watt draw on that LED if I had to guess probably around 250-300W?. Two of those would probably fine. But if you want to go to a high quality light then anything 480-640W would probably work great. Like the HLG QBs or the fluence spider or gavita 1700e. Or you could throw a 600W HPS in there with the led or add a 315w CMH could probably work too.

For a 4x4 it seems you need about 600 watts of hid led. Actual draw from wall. I went from 1000w se to 600w led, less heat, more light, better coverage also. Spider type grow lights offer better coverage. No hot spots. Cobs are also a good choice if you might expand your grow.

You should check out the iL8x from Iluminar. Ive been using one of their lights for almost a year now and its had no problems whatsoever. Their lights are amazing and a friend of mine runs this one im suggesting on his 4x4. Let me know if you need any specific data and I can ask him
Any pics of your grows under it?
