Light positioning

[Mad Matt]

Morning good people.

Im very interested in light positioning and maybe changing my approach to better maximise light coverage.. Below is the best I can do to show my normal positioning, using gavita's..

P P .... P P
P P .... P P
P p .... P P
p P .... P P
p P .... P P
p P .... P P
p P .... P P
p P.... P P

So this is how my plants would be positioned and in the past my gavitas would run parallel with the plants, like so G
G
G

Now what if I turned each light to this position GGGG, would there be better light coverage, with the light form each gavita overlapping..

If theres anyone who understands what I'm actually talking about or with better experiences with this please chime in...

Ok hopefully this might better explain what I'm talking about..

I think you original setup, is the traditional way to set up e.g lengthwise just like the room, considering the spacing seems the same one way or another. From my perspective (here, looking at a photo) it seems that you would have a greater wash towards your pathways, wasted light (your dwg).

Yeah, the photos are from many years ago. That grow room and setup has long gone....

Have you taken PAR readings? With that set up, I would hope you have a light meter. What is the footprint of each light, as the sketch (sorry) is sort of confusing (look at your lines).

Nice setup that

How big was the mickied up front of the arch ? I’ve been wondering about leasing on for ages, was thinking about leasing, waiting 6 months / a year and doing a big whop. There cheap as chips to rent round my way, and plenty out of the way.
