Two lights or one light and a mover?
    #256436 - 07/27/09 08:54 PM (15 years, 3 months ago)

Title says it all.

Ill be covering two 4x4 grow areas right next to each other.

Is it wiser to have a 600 HPS above each, or a 600HPS on a light mover?

The light mover would save me $150 as opposed to buying a second light and would also use 600W less electricity per Lights-On hour.

What do you guys think?

definately the mover.  Less heat, light, power consumption = less chance of a raid.

I wouldn't be worried about a raid either way. However, you'd do best with a single 600W and a mover me thinks.

Sorry for jacking your thread, but I was just faced with the same question for my expansion. I was debating over covering two 9x9 rooms with 2 1000 watters on movers or go with 2 1000 watters in each room. Oh yeah and low ceilings is an issue.
