I currently run 2 1k hps & 3 600 watt hps all on adjust a wings, I have a two ton Mitsubishi mini split, & a quest 155 for dehumidification. I have CO2 tanks and the room is totally sealed. My ceilings are 8'. Everything runs smooth, but I was wanting to upgrade to the gravitas 6/750 flex with the EL1. My question is how many of these gravitas can I adequately fit in my room without overheating it. Also any light layouts would be much appreciated, I've emailed gavita-holland a few times with no response!

a bit tight on cooling with 6 x 750 w
a bit tight on cooling with 6 x 750 w
I work on BTU figure fo r AC
2 tons i make 23,912 BTU usually 5,000 btu per 1000 w
you 6 x 750 is 4,500w needs 22,500 btu so you dont have much spare
But with co2 depends what temp you planning ,i would geuss 80f to 85f your ok maybe itll run down to 77 f depending on wall cieling n floor insulation and heat from dehumidfier.A

I attached pictures of my current light layout in my room. The other picture is what I think the light layout of gavitas should be. I want to light the whole the room like gavita recommends with some wall spacing. Any thoughts or opinions would be much appreciated.

Im sure a lot of the height thing is because reflector design = inverse square law tells me a better spread reflector would be more area per lamp efficient lower positioning possible then.

I used this post to figure out my layout, mainly:
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=246000&page=2
there is another one also but i forgot to copy it. From my understanding gavita wants users to light the whole floor/footprint and use overlapping with refletive walls for optimum results. With that and seeing same thing sort of mentioned in the coco tree thread I'm lighting the floor and packing as many buckets as possible. my isle will be temporary until I have dialed in my environment control and can automate my room for little to no human intervention.

I would consider my room small, so I think these reflectors would be a bad idea. The guy in the video says these are bad idea in a small room because of mole loss.

Well you consider small yet you have room for over lapping light.
how reflective are your walls.
Anyway im going to get one just to test and see with my own eyes.A

if you do 750 gaviida you could do 4 x4 light grids 9 lights but you would need 45000 cooling btu's from your ac's.
