This is the third grow with mine and I’m pretty sure they make a difference. Could be that I just wanna justify the work and money but I’m a believer

Yes I’ve seen others use them with great efficiency, and have fantastic results, I’d.like to experiment with them.

I loved mine when I used it to move my LEDs over a 3x5 area for flower. When I get a veg tent I plan on using it to move my LEDs in there.

I feel like you have to defoil or it really doesn’t work as well
I imagine they are useful but it’s too many moving parts for me.

I’ve used them for nearly 20 years. I love them and would not want a larger grow room without them - especially if using HID lighting.

I have been running one for a good long time. I run hps, hortilux eye 1000 and because of the mover, it sends rays throughout the room, like it should. Prevents shading etc… As far as yields are concerned, I honestly believe I got a bit higher yield with a stationary Light.

Never heard of a light mover I just use them. Rachet straps for hanging

if you search, you can find info on them. Very cool.
I contemplated on buying one for the sole purpose of keeping tents cooler and more efficient. But when I read on many reviews of problems or malfunctions. And personally I don’t know anybody around here where I live that use them. Then I look to other grand scale operations and I didn’t see them using them either. And the third reason is just like @Foreigner had said its adding to more things 2 go wrong (moving parts). Definitely a good topic that I pondered on. I’m curious to what other OGers input on this.

After running mine and paying attention, I believe they eliminate most shadows. I lollipop the best I can but in the back of the net well ya know I’m not as limber as I used to be. Anywhoo that larf bud is more chunky to me.
Which unit did u get? And where was it purchased at?

then you can add a light with another pulley and extension rails. So I have two lights ripping all day. I think the light mover is when the wife started to realize I have a problem🤪

That’s the same brand as all of mine. It’s a high quality product and a great company. They make replacement parts for all the wearable items, too. Great choice!

The ones I have now I got from ebay, but I got replacement parts directly from the manufacturer to make them like new.

I’m on my first run with a light rail 5.0…running 2 315cmh on either end and a 600w hps in the center…it wasn’t cheap to say the least. I could have bought more lights instead, but I was feeling adventurous.
I won’t know if it was worth it until I finish a few grows under it…but I mostly run auto’s and usually at 24/0 or 20/4 which almost always created light stress in mid flower…so far so good, no stress and the ladies seem to love it…
I have yet to decide whether or not I do.

So, are those lights heavier than led? I was concerned about 3 lights per drive. Does the dc motor struggle that you can see? Pretty much trying to gather as much info as I can. Going to be building out my grow operation in coming months.

The light rail 5.0 is designed to hold 250 lbs…I’m guessing it all depends on what size led your using.20210714_203920|690x388
