1000W not covering 4'x5' area!

Yeah, I'm interested too. Those reflectors kick ass!

How would you do it? You'd need to cut through the metal good right?

There's plenty of room on one of the leaves to cut a 6" hole and pop rivet a 6" flange on to it. It would alter the light pattern a little but not much.

Have you tried moving the bulb at all? That's really the only suggestion I have to offer.

Well I got in there tonight and tried to move the bulb down. Loosened the wingnuts and I couldn't pull it down any. I'm wondering if it comes down at all or if it's locked-in centered since it's air-cooled. I'm going to have to find a way to get in there and take a better look at it! Guess I'll have to turn it off for 15-minutes during light cycle. This seems like it would definitely work though if I can actually lower it.

OK well I think the cord was stuck in the grommet and that's why I couldn't move it last night.

Anyway, I've decided NOT to move the bulb down. When I put my head at the tops of the plants in the corners, I can still see the entire bulb when I look up at it. Therefore, lowering the bulb won't do much. But I think they're getting enough light I guess. If I can see the bulb from the same vantage point, then the plant can "see" the bulb too.

Don't get on every day but I will try a pic of the hood..
