light movers, lumens, watts, and coverage
A few questions comparing two hypothetical setups...
Setup 1) A 1000 Watt, air cooled, on a light mover.
Setup 2) Two 600 Watt, air cooled, stationary.
Light mover benefit- gets light to areas that stationary lights just can't.
two 600 Watt benefit- better lumens per watt.
question 1) Which setup delivers the most lumens per sq/ft in a 7'LX5'W box?
question 2) Which setup could get closer to the plants? (I ask this because both setups are air cooled and setup1 is on a light mover and I hear that allows an air cooled even closer...)
question 3) Can and how do you have an air cooled setup on a light mover.
question 4) Is there a bad side the a light mover since while it is on one side of the garden it is, at that time, not lighting the other side.
question 5) Does using glass on an air cooled lamp help cooling or will it cool all the same due to the suction?
question 6) Does one also need a separate exhaust if air cooled lamps are used? (5'WX7'L room)
question 7) What are some options of cooling intake air if it is drawn from outside and the ambient temperature is 80 F or higher? Will the air flow be efficient or somehow affix a cooling device?
Answer any and all you are able. These are all questions that I have come to ask while looking around this site especially in posts comparing 1000W lumens and 600W lumens. I appreciate the help and insight and hope you enjoy the questions.el chupanebre Reviewed by el chupanebre on . light movers, lumens, watts, and coverage A few questions comparing two hypothetical setups...
