First Grow-DoubleBubbleponicSetup-AK47Clones-But what Lights?!

Hey I've been doing research for a while now(6 months-12months) and have finally decided I want to grow using Bubbleponics and have almost completed my set up. I have AK47 clones available which are coming in a few days but am still to settle on a light . I have a small homemade cabinet(will need to get pics) but have three 5 Gallon buckets(one which I'll use to fill with nutrient mix for exchanging), air pump and stone, rubber tubing, netting, nutrients, rockwool etc. I know how to set it up but what kind of light should i get? And is this a good Idea?!
I have the belief in myself and am sure I have the know how just need a helping hand! Hopefuly get pics up real soon!

So again,
1-What light set up should I use?
2-Any advice you could give for a first-timer that perhaps isn't on teh FAQ's or your thoughts?
Peace

How many plants are you gonna want to grow bro? What kind of space are you working with, all that kind of stuff.
For example, I'm currently soil but switching over to bubbleponics... I am currently running 2 400's but am switching over to 1 600, for a space of about 6x4 ft. I plan on growing 8 plants that I will let get about 1-1.5ft high before I throw them into veg. I will also be using a parabolic reflector to maximize the light distribution... some would recommend 1000w for a space my size, but I've decided against it for electrical costs and my house is on limited amps.

Yo thanks for that man, I'm thinking bout 5x4 and plan on growing roughly the same man? Getting 3 week old AK clones in a few days but have everything bar lights.
I did get some lights off my friend including a round metal surround with a set of two lights (led's but said I'd need blue too?) but I did not get time to examine exactly what was there before putting them into stash.
What strain are you growing? Need to get pictures up. I'm thinking I should either stick with the lights I was given or should maybe get two 4's or 1000w? Would get reflector and have painted inside off cabinet matt white. What should I do? Predicaments...lol
Peace

Ive got a 600w Hps now with ballast and am thinking about getting some Cfl's too? Have got two red Led bulbs but also need blue but could I throw them in too? Please help...Someone! I've got my nutes sorted too.
Peace
