Light Spacing

[danksy]

Hello RIU!

I got two 1000w HPS hoods, and I can't seem to figure out how far apart the reflectors should be from each other. I know if I put the lights close enough, then I can have 2000w in the middle? Is this a good thing? Please Help!

Happy Thursday,
Danks

Are the reflectors in a casing? Pics would be helpful. If the bulbs in a reflective casing you should just put it in a upside down "V" shape as such the light overlaps. I'd say 110 degree angle.

I think so? It looks like this

I wanted to place them side-by-side, but I don't know how far part they should be from each other

Your plants in the overlapped part are really going to take off.
