Hmm....I thought about doing something with side lighting. Or just move them a few inches apart. You have to see the coverage. Visit the local grow shop and 'look under the hood' . VVSunlight Supply SunBlaze48. A lot of hid's use that type of reflective material, it sounds like a good one. Part of the reason I bought the one's I have is I plan to replace them. I believe led's will be i use economically within a year.I thought i already posted this but what is the name of your fixture. I am getting the sunsystem tek light 4 ft 8 lamp 9 bend deflector made out of german 95% reflective aluminum they claim that there is a 300% higher light output then with no reflector. they are calling them the rolls royce of t5 fixtures I am getting two of them right after X mas.
I see to that they can be hung vertically as well as horizontal. I was thinking of hanging two of the 4bulb fixtures on a almost vertical postion making more side coverage. Having one eight bulb fixture an two 4 bulb fixtures on each side angled for better side light penatration just a thought still up in the air about that one
I thought I explained that, I apoligize. I have 10' ceilings and a bad back. So I made the tables higher to accomidate this old man. The reses are on a concrete floor so the height of the table doesn't affect the temp. The other advantage for me is the distance between the reses and the tables, I can easily reach in, when I am on my knees of course and do any necessary work below without moving the res. If you don't have ten foot ceiling and a bad back adjust the height of the tables to fit your needs and space. VVJust out of curiosity... if you're going to build your own ebb and flows, why not build something low profile? I find lower tables are easier to keep temps down, cheaper to build... is it just easier to maintain your plants?
