Those are beefy lights, you can grow some rock hard nugs with those.
Need way more info about your intended grow though:

Size of tent or room, media, water source, nutrients, controllers, strain etc.

sorry I meant I need help finding the power source for the lights

still not understanding, they are dual voltage lights,
they can be plugged into any wall outlet, or in a 230v
service. I ran a 60amp sub panel to my room of appx
3000 watts in lights & several hundred more watts
in fans and blowers, pumps etc. I have more
amperage than I'll ever need.

• At 120V: Approximately 4.4 amps each
• At 230V: Approximately 2.26 amps each

If they have funny looking 230v plug ends, you can
get adapters to be able to plug them into regular
wall outlets.

The safety margins for electrical circuits are essential to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. Here’s a breakdown for 15-amp and 20-amp circuits based on the National Electrical Code (NEC):

15-Amp Circuit:​

• Maximum continuous load: 12 amps
• Why? The NEC recommends not exceeding 80% of the circuit's capacity for continuous loads (defined as loads running for 3 hours or more).
• Calculation: 15 amps × 0.8 = 12 amps

---

20-Amp Circuit:​

• Maximum continuous load: 16 amps
• Calculation: 20 amps × 0.8 = 16 amps

I don’t have the psu for the light. From what I’ve been seeing I can use a hlg-480h-24a that’s dimmable

oh, you need a ballast., why didn't you just say so to begin with lmao.
I was totally brain farting on the "power supply unit"

Yeah my bad lmao I’ve never messed w this type of stuff for the lighting
