so i'm reading about these light rail they can hold depending on what one you use , 1, 2, 3, 6


here's what im reading would like to know if anyone has used these and what the results were like.......

The self propelled Light Rail 3.5 Intelli Drive is without question, the finest linear lamp-mover available. It uses no pulleys, chains or gears. Simply mount the standard 6 foot track over the desired area and place the lamp-moving drive motor onto the track. The Light Rail 3.5 Intelli Drive is supplied with adjustable switch stops, so lamp travel can be any length you wish. This is perfect for a start-up size garden through to a full growth garden. The standard 6 foot track may also be extended. Light Rail 3.5 comes with a 2 Year Factory Warranty.
The all new Light Rail 3.5 Intelli Drive with Solid State Advanced Control's fully integrated PCB Circuitry will give you the control you are looking for. With an adjustable 0-60 second time delay you can "fine tune" the length of delay at each end of your lamp's travel to meet your garden's ever changing needs.
Moving one light on a 6 foot rail should increase your light's area of coverage by approximately 1.6. This translates into lower operating cost due to higher single light yields. The lumens produced by a grow light decrease the greater the distance from the bulb. To avoid plant killing heat associated with stationary grow lights, the bulb must be kept at a greater distance from the plants. For example, your plants end up getting far less lumens than you are actually paying for. By moving your light, you may run a tighter plant to lamp tolerance (using more of what you are paying for) without generating plant killing heat. Again, this translates into lower operating cost through higher yields. Moving your light from one end of your garden and back will give your garden light at a much greater variety of angles. This allows more light to reach the foliage at the bottom of the plant, which is normally shaded by the foliage at the top of the plant. As a greater portion of the plant takes part in the process of photosynthesis, lower operating costs result from greater yields






opinions and experiences please......

Yea, I have that unit. It works great. I did a grow with and without it.
I would say we got about 20% more buds with it.

Be sure the light is attached well. You dont want one side dropping and then have it dragged back and forth across your crop destroying everything. (did that too)

we had an 8' suntrack. it really allowed formore coverage with our single 1kW halide.
i give them two thumbs up.

whats the cost of the light rail? I too have been thinking of one. when I am done this grow I am going to redo my room and add some more square feet so the light track would be great, might be cheaper to just get another light?
 
I love my light movers! hang some 1000's on that shit, ill never go back to stationary lights. :) not when you can have your 1000's 5" from your plants! @_@ with a mover and enough cfm's its posible.

definitely got one after two stationary grows and have been digging it. I would not use a 6footer tho I think that is too far to spread the light. I have not havested yet on this one but I am 5weeks deep and looking fly as hell. Buds are prob 9 inches away from 1000w spiking at 95 for a minute or two a day
