Was this quote for 4 of the 300 watt units?

Yes, it is for 4 complete units delivered .

I wear a ball cap or visor in my room along with dark shades. They hang on the outside of my entrance.

Dogs, cats etc!

Man, ourOrange Slice (our 20lb orange tabby) loves the show, he trims all my low branches every morning!

So 4 of these panels would spec out to 960 watts.
I do think I'll use my mover for these. I haven't seen where anyone has yet.
I'm thinking pair them side by side in 2's end to end would create an approximate 48" ×15" panel and if I move them back and forth 24" it will cover my canopy area.
Damn it, I might need one more panel.

LED COBs w/lightmover. DIY 600watts, Cree CXB3590 COBs suspended over 5'x8' area. Had used a stationary 1Kwatts setup, saw someone use light mover in a 4'x8' LED Pucks and figured I had a light mover...why not..ALWAYS GREAT results. No burn, no stress. Just great cannabis.
Just a thought.
Success w/ya grow!!!
Cheers.

mylar pinwheels, mosh/diy guys... we have moving, energy/air. can u diy heroes, not help us harness that free, ampless, powa n free 33%? how much vert space, would one lose, with a mover, if vert space were prime, concern? i gotta believe, at least the thickness, of another led and many of mEs, are tent/vert limited, as u know. I'm space envied, this day...

So what are youuns doing with the rheostat? Just let them hang?
The wiring does seem untidy.
Do you, can you remote mount drivers?

Damn it, this is worse than a new phone!

OK, I'm not OCD... careful and efficient, yeah. My rigs are fully functional and safe. Pics of how I made 200watt COB bars. Nothing fancy, all bought at Lowes. The drivers, which put out some heat, but not much(unlike HID) are controlled by a Zigbee wifi controller, a nice feature; sunrise/sunset dimming. Rheostat...not, remote temperature/humidity hanging in center, yes. Nothing like monitoring room temp from afar. Ya think...
LED COBs, QBs, Pucks are the way to go.
Hope I answered ya ???s
Cheers.

I have a question about dimming.
With the electronic HID ballasts can dim but only after firing up at correct wattage.
You cannot set lower and start as on a timer.

Now, are LED's like this or can they be left at the dimmed setting ?

Just leave them set wherever you wish..no problems!

when you dim your HID ballasts your swinging your output spectrum away from advertised, basically the bulbs are designed to output said light at said voltage- so when you change that the bulb does not put out the same spectrum nor intensity. With leds this issue does not exist. Just somthing to keep in mind and often overlooked.

I flower with 30 watts sq ft max and average

1.9 to 2.0 gpw, That's with home built LED's

When ur vivosun fans take a shit as they have bad motors and will grind to a hault in no time I had 2 of them do it within a grow of bloom only...So when it happens email them and they will send u the new version they are all white and a lot nicer and quieter too but has the same cfm..It also has a wider oscillation angle too which is nice...
If not they make USB fans that clip on and use like 5w only which I'll be picking up some when the time comes to try out
