Kim,
I own 30 or so Pelican cases. If you get the pick-n-pluck foam - which will give you a better degree of 'padding' on the gear - you'll want to leave 3 rows of foam for the walls. Otherwise, over time, the walls will degrade and break at the corners.
With padded dividers, they are alot thinner, more flexible for change - and adequate for padding most things - but certainly less than 2" of foam.
So it would be up to you as far as protection value, dynamic changes, etc... - but that should give you an idea as to what case you will want to measure out and get.
I usually grid something out with my gear that I want stored, using the foam walls or padded wall thickness (remembering another layer around the perimeter) and then look at what Pelican has that size or slightly larger.
I think I've packed my AB's and short stands with umbrellas in my 1650 case. Not padded for travel, but tidy for going to a local location. If I remember, the short stands barely fit on the diagonal. But for just 4 lights and reflectors, you can probably get by with a smaller case.
Good luck...
