i would use CFL's for a small box it would be really hard to fit a HPS in a small space and keep it cool

you could use LED's but would need ones that were kinda weak seeing how most led's need 12-20 inches of clearance depending on the diode and lens combination


CFL's you can get within a few inches with out burning the plant

how big is the space you are going to be growing in ?

I would run two cxa3050s at about 700ma which will stay verycool and out perform any other light. And you can keep it 6 inches away from the plant.

I ran 2 23w and that's the actual watt for one plant and here I am a month into my first grow and had to move into bigger home. cfl are forgiving. I am also growing an auto if that helps u out at all

I would say CFLs also, there are some good home LED lights that work but with the tight space you might have bleaching issues.
