Meijiu 1978-1988 650-700w LED fixtures. You'll find them at Alibaba and I believe they nowadays have storage in the US and Ca to.
Very affordable and the performance and build quality is really good. Especially on the newer models! They keep improving.

I'd go with one of our sponsor brands, many offer discounts to 420 members, and if there's issues 420 mag can help. If possible get a model with samsung 301b or 301h chips with osram reds.

If it was me I’d want a bar light with a detachable driver. Nothing less than 450W will allow you to grow 4-5 plants of any strains. Trying to save money now will only disappoint you until you upgrade to a light that will do everything you want. All the Sponsors make excellent products and being a member entitles you all the discounts. Happy growing. CL
Just to echo @CaptainLucky, put as much as you can into your light set-up, even if you have to wait a bit, it will pay off in the future! Also agree, minimum 400 true watts.
I love Sativas and I’m growing some landrace strains from Ace. They recommend to use a 600W light for optimal results. You can use a smaller light for something like that but you won’t get everything out of it that you could. I’m just trying to give you an example of what to expect from your purchase dollars. Happy growing. CL

You might want to check out the PROGROW 320.
Why - it's cheap, it has a "very interesting" spectrum, and the PPFD is the best I've seen in 2 ½ years reading about, learning about, and buying grow lights.
The only downside I can see is that it looks like the driver isn't detachable. Other than that, you'll be hard pressed to find a light that has a more even PPFD map, regardless of price, and, lo and behold, the spectrum for that light looks to be a complete knock off of my $640 Growcraft flower light. That's why the "very interesting" - it looks like a knock off of my $640 Growcraft flower light.
Given that it's designed for a 2' x 4' space, you'll need two of them. Having two lights can be seen as a negative but an advantage of having multiple lights is that it makes it easier to light a grow with an uneven canopy (they're all uneven, even the one in the photo)
