Something like this would work for your tent and 4 plants. $180 with the coupon right now.
That p600 isn't 600w btw.

Wow that's a pretty nice looking light, and 300watts will crush a 3x3 with 4 plants for sure.
Get this light over the Vipar Spectra IMO

Clicked on that site and $150 delivery fee to Australia,$400 all up not worth it.

Oh yeah.
Definitely not worth it then.
There are quite a few people on here from your neck of the woods, hopefully they can point you in the direction of a more local brand/vendor.

I think a 3x3x6 tent =9 square feet and you need 30- 40 watts per square foot so 270watt light minimum to a 360 watt max light I think a 300 watt led would be ok.

Makes sure you read all the small print because you don't want to buy something that isn't going to do the job.
Always kook for the power draw and not what the coverage says because viper spectra and the likes all talk out their ass.

If you have an electrician friend, you may be able to do a DIY light build from components. Im sure they have the parts in your area, region , or country. Aussie? They have them somewhere on your continent. Look into industrial scrap. Townships are always replacing streetlights and most now are LED panels. If you can’t, you could get many standard lightbulb sockets and get led bulbs. Do research and find the bulbs with the spectrum you need. Remove plastic diffuser domes on bulbs. Do math and figure out how many bulbs you need for “true” wattage.
