hey hey Natro,Was also curious how much you like that light mover you have? Thought about getting one but seems like it would be quite the hassle... could be wrong of course was just my guess. Its between a light mover for my 420 so it will get good coverage in my tent or 2 area 51s (was stuck between sgs and xgs since have seen good results with sgs and xgs is still pretty new but now they came out with a newer sgs so its back to the drawing board on that) The mover wouldnt add to my thermal output atleast but have heard they can be prone to failure. Heat might not even be a real issue with those panels as i havent read anything to elude to that but ya never know.till its in ur hands.... garden is looking awesome by the way mr.urb

i like movers, for the most part. when i started the garden i was given a bunch of used equipment, and i literally had more light movers than lights... they aren't a hassle to set up tho. the only thing is to make use to use pliers to cinch down the thumb screws that act as the bump-stops for the switch on the motor unit. if it's not screwed down securely, the mover may push it to the end of the rail, and get stuck as it high-centers itself just before it would otherwise take the mover and light off the rail (that happened to me once in the first week of using the set up, and it scared the crap out of me! lesson learned for sure!) otherwise, if the screw if not verticle enough to make contact with that switch, then the switch may pass under it, and the motor will not change direction; it'll just push against the obstruction in the path until you fix it. this causes the motor to get hot; but fix the issue, let it cool, and it'll work like a boss. that has happened to my oldest mover (5yrs old, i think) a few times in the first year i had it, and it's still in use over veg... these things are very robust in my opinion.
what size space are you working with? you can revisit my last run videos on youtube, where it was the Licorices and stuff in the 5x8; that run was the same tent that is currently going with half the light on a mover. by the end of this run, we should see whats up between movers or 2x light... so far i'm def leaning towards the "more light" option
