You can do florescent but won't be nearly the same. MOAR LIGHT.

HPS while still is the commercial go to for lighting of flowering cycles. LED's are gaining tech that are out producing HPS in every way.
For a more high end check out
https://chilledgrowlights.com/. Vitaly is really knocking it out of the park with his Gen2 boards.
For the more budget consumer and DIY'er, Pacific Coast Light Concepts and Timber Grow lights are great as well. Or follow someone like Growmau5 who builds his own boards and lights.
Those are really the best of the best in LED's though.
Edit* I'm taking it that is not an actually 2000 watts of LED. Just what the manufacturer says it is equivalent to HPS light output. Which I would not trust those claims. Only trust LED companies that are giving you the true energy usage of their fixtures. Not some made up marketing BS.
