Quantums Overhead in Vertical Grow!

These optics also seem like a huge pain to install I'm just going to run mine without for a while maybe someone will come out with better optics

why not put the light on a track so it can be slid out of the way? would make it adjustable for distance from the plants also

In his layout if you mount the fixtures overhead in a vert room you now don't have to worry about the lights being in your way and also you can run more rows of plants in a smaller space. Really just no lights in the isles makes it incredibly easy to work on your plants. To me the biggest problem with vert growing has always been the lights hanging right in your way.

The idea here is to have plants on both sides of the isle which would be 3-4 ft wide. With this design we are hoping to eliminate the need to move the lights this saving labor and also minimizing cost as a movable rack system would add to system complexity and cost I would imagine. I'm no expert though lol.

And another thing; where would we be moving these lights TO?

After seeing your light map, I understand. Amazing! Makes me re-think how I'll build my first vertical.

As usual, thinking backwards.

As usual, ignoring my points.

I'm proud to present what we believe is the first quantum board based overhead light fixture for vertical gardening;

This is what a normal person calls a "grow light".

Would that also make it "the first quantum based sidelighting light fixture for horizontal gardening"?

Youre marketing has the subtlety of beating the bloody corpse of a long dead horse.

I'll be rearranging the rack soon and using three of the same modules per 4x6' panel for a total of 675W, that's the same draw as the two quantum board fixtures. That will be the true head to head test!

Assuming the pictures in the original post are of the setup, how is it a "head to head" test when the plants are sharing the light from both the COBs and boards?

Also, wouldnt the overheads be less efficient because they are further away from the majority of the plant as compared to the side lighting cobs?

Can you actually answer these questions without claiming Im somehow treating you and your grow unfairly or being a "prick"?

First, not my company, no dog in this fight.

Second, provide something of actual value to this thread as opposed to your usual negative blather of no consequence- or piss off.

Third, your 'points' are either wrong, banal or not worthy of my time...

Fourth and finally, show me another 'grow light' that mounts to the ceiling and yet illuminates a vertical panel? I thought not, moron.

So to sum up, you have a bad attitude, you make insipid comments, you have nothing to add AND you're stupid.

Go away or I'll start reporting you.
