First off Happy Easter from our family to yours.

And now to my dilemma.

I am going to start a grow for 1-2 plants in a room dedicated for it. (16x15). I have decided to use DWC hydro system. i have so many questions on nutrients , what to buy, how to use? But my biggest concern is what light to use. Im leaning towards LED but only because they seem affordable on amazon and have decent reviews, as far as good growth throughout life cycle and nice buds. I would like a light i could use for both veg and bloom. but if i end up going old school and using mh/hps ill be ok with switching lights and/or bulbs.
So.. what light should i use for my small setup? budget is 250-400$ maybe more.... an example i was looking at on amazon is visparspectra led grow lights... seems cheap but the reviews arent too bad. Any help is greatly appreciated on this journey of growing my own bud for our family!

Thanks in advance and Happy Easter!

Nutrients is an easy decision. GH 3 part FloraTrio Flora micro/Gro/Bloom and their CaliMagic.

Have you tried powder nutrients? I cant say anything bad about Veg+Bloom accept that its not fully soluble

What kind of space would you like to light? Is your climate in that room coldish during winter?
Will you be growing in a tent or an openspace?
Do you have height restrictions?
The amazon lights are exactly what they look like: cheap and shitty. Nobody around here grows with Vipar...

Have a good look at the sponsored adertisers of this forum, they are the real deal:
Horticulture lighting group
Timber
Bc_blondes
Chilled growlights
Grow lights australia
Cutter electronics

If your on the cheap theres also alternatives drastically better than vipar and amazon blurple lights.

Airwalker is right, anyone here will tell you that light is a huge waste of money. Seriously, there's tons of knowledge and experience here.
