15" x 5" I would say you need 3 400w ( one every 5 ft)or 2 1000(7 ft apart splitting the room in half), not easily done for $400, I'm not going to bash cfl's cuz I never tried them but you would need A LOT of them

you could get a 1000w hps and or a 750 lumatek digi and put it on like a mover, or you could possible make a system that moves the light back and forth in the space you have.

do this. get 1k lumatek a nice hood and track system youll be set. all that will be about $400. i only do 20 plants per 1k light as rule of thumb.... kinda breaking it at the moment lol. Pe@Ce...

if you haven't sexed them yet, chances are only a few of them would be females, then you wouldn't have to cover so much space...400 dollars doesn't go as far as it used to, huh!

my buddy just got a couple 90W UFO LED's off ebay for $130 a piece.. they are very nice. im thinking of switching from HID to LED myself after seeing how powerfull just one of them are. 400W equivalent i think it is.... ebay is the cheapest too. other sites sell for an arm and a leg. Pe@ce..
