more lamps vs the light mover? im not completly sold on the mover but may have to go that route for energy consumption, can i get the performace i am looking for out of a light mover with 2000w or should i get 4 smaller lamps stationary?

imao, rather 4x600W, much more efficiency, more Lumen per Watt, easy to install, usable one by one when not the whole space in your growroom is in usefor any reason...

light movers are great but not if your trying to expand the space the light covers by more than say 20%, your best bet would be to go with 3-600's as opposed to 2 1000's, you would get about 5000 more lumens and 200 watts less power, its really a tough call though, lets say you were using a 4x8 table, i think 3 600's hanging over it would do a better job than 2 1000's when deciding to use a light mover i would take in to consideration the layout of the grow space, like a big square area would do best with maybe 2 lights running back and forth on movers where as a rectangle area would do best with like 3 lights stationary
