At the moment my vertical trellis is made of 4' x 2" mesh field fencing. That makes it four feet high and I cut two lengths 6'3" long, connected them at their ends and made a cylinder. 12.5'/pi = 4' diameter. 12.5' x 4' tall = 50ft².
I'm quite sure my 1kW bulb is lighting it very well, indeed- it's even causing a touch of light burn on some leaves directly across from it. What I want a mover for is to spread that intensity up and down the cylinder so every part of the plant gets it- and conversely to eliminate hot spots.
Have a 1000 watter hanging vert in a 4x4 and I agree, its plenty of intensity when you can get it trapped like that but I do agree with you on the mover, that'd just be perfect.
