If you can afford it I'd get 4 packs of lights. Two of the 6500K spectrum, two of the 2700K spectrum. Then get some Y splitters (4 of them) to run the eight lights. Use the 6500K ones for your veg and use the 2700K ones for your flowering phase. I mean just one or two lights will grow something, but you will be EXTREMELY disappointed. Also you could mix the spectrums with maybe three 2700K spectrum lights and the other five be 6500K.
