Turning Lights On / Off to reduce power like a light mover.

[ttystikk]

Cycling the lights quickly won't hurt the diodes at all but your drivers won't like it and it may burn them out prematurely.

Contrary to what been said above, used properly light movers DO increase yield (I've done it) but there are so many caveats that is generally not with the trouble. You won't see better results because you're using directional LED lighting.

If you're concerned about even coverage just raise your lights a bit.

There are no free rides, including movers. It's not possible to increase yield by pluralizing your light. Physics, yo.

Have you done it? No, you're just making pronouncements by talking out your ass.

I've done it, ran it for years and I know exactly how and why it works. I also know why it's not worth pursuing with modern technology- but that's a lot different than talking shit with no experience.

And don't presume to lecture me on physics; I'm pretty damn sure I've forgotten more of it than you know.

You don't know shit about me and my 25 years of experience. But I can definitely tell when a scared, small minded piece of shit is talking, and you're example A.

Have a look at how long I've been here and what I've done. I'll wait.

I'm not scared and I know when someone is talking out their ass.

I notice that exactly none of your rebuttals have even one shred of evidence associated with them; you've just tried to make "nuh uh!" stick as your argument.

Now, try on almost 40 years of experience.

Go away unless you can bring real, actual proof that you've done it.

Well now...that was exhilarating.

no ones does it. why even argue this?

Yes it's actually very possible. When you take a single light source (hps) you typically have a significant hot spot and much less light around the perimeter of the light/reflector footprint. When you put that same light on a mover you're better spreading the light, areas below the canopy that would normally be shaded get direct light as the light moves across the path of the mover, it increases yield..

No one does it because most have no need to.

But the conventional "wisdom" is flat wrong. Back in the day, I averaged a pound and a half every 3 weeks under just one 1000W HPS. And the fuckin' bulb was 4 years old.

How much money did you lay on Gonzaga?
