Do not pay attention to the artificial "equivalent" number that many inexpensive lights advertise. Look at the actual wattage consumed by the fixture. For a white LED I want a light capable of providing 30 watts per square foot minimum but 35 watts per foot is better. So, in your case 480-560 watts. And, I like a light or multiple fixtures to spread the light out. I do not like a super bright small light in the center as it tends to create a hot spot in the middle with darker corners while a physically larger light or multiple fixtures can spread the light more evenly.

Are we talking about the 70 dollar 2000W amazon specials? Cause that’s not gonna do much for ya. A lot of people claim they’re running 2000W but unless you spent thousands on a good LED board or running HPS or HID you’re not running 2000W with anything that cost you 70 bucks on Amazon. There’s a lot of junk out there. Be weary of what you spend your money on. I wish your question was a bit more specific about what it is you want to actually run.

If your talking HID it's too much. 600 watt HID would do.
