Light movers were invented to reduce the electrical foot-print to lower suspicion.

I’m going to have problems just getting 960W to work, @ 20W per EB3 I was getting well over 1,000 ppfd on 12 sticks.

We should talk about light movers sometime. I was there and did some crazy shit.

Light movers were invented to increase g/W.
I had lights moving in circles. Later I had them moving in a straight line. But in the end I made progress by removing sides. So in stead of having 1 static light with 4 m side I had 4 static lights with 8 m side. That really made a difference.

Grams per watt or keep ya outta jail.

Ya know, the basics in an occupied country.

Was it you with the one in a circle on the bicycle gearing?

I read about that somewhere.

Where are you from? In my country the Netherlands it's also illegal.
Both my moving lamps things were also built from bicycle parts and wood

Ah, Niederländer. I’m from the US.

It makes sense. I’ve never been at that square footage yet to need one.

If we are going to light the lower regions of our plants, could we use a different colour to that above. Is there a leverage option, not yet exploited.

There is little to say what known plant responses, apply to our plants specifically. Many are about canopy penetration, so could be very relevant

No one is gonna pinch your sack if you have a monitor lizard on duty!

Speaking of light movers..

I have an extra 12v 8a rail on my ATX PSU not being used..

Should I install 2 rotary beacon light motors along with 2x 35w Xenon arc tube HID headlight bulbs (with the anti UV coating removed?) somewhere towards the center of my LED fixture, so they spin 360 degrees and blast the plants with 12,000k+ ultraviolet rays?

Has anyone ever tried supplementing HID or LEDs with xenon arc bulbs yet?
