    Light mover question

    Here it goes, I have a 4 x 8 flower set up (2- 4x4 trays side by side, set up with aero), which i have a 1000w hortilux ,in a cool tubes, on each tray= 2 x 1000w.I have got 2 Light movers, which you can change the length on, that travel 2 feet in 1 minute.
    Here is the question.
    1) Will 1 of these 1000w ,on the mover, work as well as the 2 1000w stationary for the 4 x 8 tray set up?
    2) Or should i decrease the size of the tray set up to lets say 4x6 or even 3x6?

    I have read that a light mover can increase your coverage by like 60%,If this is the case ,that means, In theroy, @ the same 62.5 watts per sq. ft., The light should cover an area of 4' x 6.4'. Am i correct in my logic or is there something im missing?

    Any replies or info would be very appreciated.

    Yes that is what they say about light movers. My second to last sog was using them and it did fine but when I went to 2 1000w hps in the same area the yield was noticeably higher and denser. But that is expected from more light.
