Thanks guys. I wasn't looking for a horizontal light rail, just a spin motor since my lights will be on a round base. I realize those on that site are expensive which is why I am still looking. I didn't mean to make it seem like it was a great deal or anything, just that I found a site with a rotating motor for circular lighting.
Agreed. I have found some 1 rpm motors but I believe that may still be too fast so I am trying to work that out. I appreciate and welcome your and Hyroot's insight and help with this. It may be I will not find what I am looking for so thanks for the help PetFlora and thanks for the link to the straight rails Hyroot. I bookmarked it!
Hi BS, that rotisserie sounds like it would do the job at a slow enough speed. I have no idea what the optimum speed will be but let's say the round light panel will be ermmm 30 inches in diameter filled with LED bulbs in sockets starting maybe 3 inches from the outer edge then another row maybe 3 inches inside that with say 2 more rows 3 inches apart from the last row so 4 rows of bulbs. Do you think 1 revolution per minute would be too fast for the lights to have any effect on the plant canopy? Thanks!
LOL excellent question! I have not thought about it until you mentioned it.
I will have to ponder that one for a bit. 
Thanks!
Very true. I could theoretically also create a square panel and use the straight light mover to go back and forth just to give it a bit more coverage than the panel remaining in the same spot. I assume the lights can be a bit closer to the canopy if they are constantly moving so possibly better light as it cruises across the tops. Any thoughts?
I use a light rail. The light on the mover is customized with narrow 45 degree angle lenses so it needs to be moved to prevent light bleaching if kept close to the canopy. The result is super intense and penetrating light within an inch or two of the canopy with no bleaching. I can say that you will get more coverage and more uniform coverage with a mover. Using a mover is an excellent solution under the right conditions.Very true.

Thank you MM! That is good news! Just so you and everyone know I plan to main-line the plants so the canopies will be very even on top which should add to the effectiveness of the light mover, spreading excellent uniformity over the tops. And yes I agree with using a tighter angle on the lights. Tighter beams = more light intensity and better penetration. I appreciate all the help!!!
wow Nice long colas!!! They look awesome CM! Congrats and thank you for sharing!!!
Indeed but only for the better efficiency of the 9.5 due to the cost of the 13.5. I like the incandescent / Cree 13.5 comparison with Fruity Cherios. LOL The Cree did seem to make the colors pop more I suppose because of its high CRI rating but that isn't going to matter much with using them for growing again due to the higher cost of the newer Cree.
Thanks for that link Hyroot!
