Welcome to the forum Sauve757.
That is a big subject with a lot of variables I would suggest to start reading here.

if you would like to tell us a little more about what you're trying to accomplish plant number, space you have, budget we would love to recommend something.

I would recommend the classic switchable hps/metal halide set up. All dependant on your room of course. Buying an led with out the proper knowledge is more than likely a waste of time. After you read a bit on the science of LEDs, I would say take a crack at those .but to start, stick with something that is pretty standard.

315 cmh is my vote

I'm with Abadtrip, 315cmh.

Or go hybrid .... I use a 430w HPS (for flowering) with a 1500w full spectrum led and a 250w white led.

grow medium : organic sol
room : 10x8x6
5 hash plant feminized
Alaskan fish & molasse & Fox Farm nutrients

As you can see, there are a lot of options but like Mr. Furley said, it depends on what you are planning, budget and space. Just be prepared to buy lots of things twice or just spend a little more now to get what you need. It can be confusing at first but it will come and there is a lot of good advice here you can trust. I started out with CFL's just to try my hand at growing and had good results but have upgraded everything since I started.
