600W footprint question.

[MrAwder]

I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of the footprint of a 600W light in a 19" internal reflector cool tube. I plan on scrogging and want to figure out the optimal size for my screen. Also what distance from the plants would be optimal for the light? It will be exhausted by a 600cfm squirel cage fan.
thanks

i run my 600 in a 5 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 5ft tall......but if it were my scrog i would do a 3 ft x 3ft

90 cm x 90 cm (3 x 3) is good even with very good reflection 100 x 75 would be fitting

According to that chart the best bud productions would start 8 inches away from the light and continue on until 29 inches. I've never worked with a 600 watter but that chart is great for light questions.

i put 3 600's where most put 2 1000's, over a 4x8 table
