Spinning Lights...great idea.

[ultima]

This might be old on this site but check out these spinning lights from Life Light Systems. Simple , yet a very interesting idea.
They have a single/dual lamp rotators as well as 4 and 6 light spinners.
I wonder if they can be speed controlled ? They might make a lot of noise too?
Interesting nonetheless.

Ultima,
I was perusing older threads and saw that nobody had responded. That's a circular light mover. There have been dozens of threads on light movers. I use one, only mine is linear. They impart some advantages. Lights can be closer and better penetration. But it makes it harder, if not impossible to use cooling vents on the lights.

Plus there's the expense. I personally think they're worth it. Look on ebay for a used one. Long skinny room...linear light mover. Square room...circular mover.
Hope that helps...

Check out this thread where those spinners were used in 37k warehouse grow. The grower said they were a waste of money. http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=103752&highlight=37k

I would agree that they aren't suited for a large commercial grow operation. But if you want to optimise a small grow, I feel they work fine for that. The space I'm in would require an additional light if I weren't using a mover.

Moving parts = one more thing to maintain, and replace when it fails.

Spinners are a great way to snag stray cords and cause a fire, and are not a magical cure-all for light solutions. Ask me how I know!

I tried a circular mover and had quite a few issues with it a few years ago. The only mover that ever worked well for me was a heavy duty track chain setup that used roller chain.
