What would be the best on a 4x4 hydro table:

4 x 250w hps lights

2 x 600w hps lights

1 x 1000w hps lights

And do you have any experiences with air-cooled closed reflector or tubes, how good are they, do they really worth it ??

2 600 hands down, and cool tubes are the best at keeping them cool. if you do get 2 600 watt hps your room will rock.

two 600's by a landslide. It is a proven fact that they are your best " bang for buck " by a lonnnng shot. I wish I used 6 x 600 watts instead of 4 1000 watts for my grow because I woulda had better energy effeiciency and more bud IMO.

I say 2 600 . Thats what I got for now. I like the aircooled hoods better than the cooltubes.

Thank you for helping me Considering your experiences can you give me examples of how it affect the yield...

And what about the heat, does it generate a lot more than a single 1000w ??

you will have more heat because of the extra ballast, but it's worth it imo.600 and 1000 get super hot so get yourself some good fans.
