I’ll be joining the club here once I flip! Always been a CMH fan. I have two 315w Sunlight LECs with Philips 3100k bulbs and I’m thinking 3x6 for the footprint? Don’t think a 4’ spread is doable. Any input would be much appreciated!

I believe you will do fine with the two 315's in a 4x6, It is said that they have a 3x3 footprint. I run two 315's in a 4x4 and know that I could cover two more feet with the two. That being said I do not use the entire 4x4, mine is more like a 3x4 as I have a stand up fan in the tent that takes about a foot away from the overall footprint.

You can see the distance from the end of the screen to the front of the tent, my screen is 4x3.

Beautiful set up! I’m in a room so won’t have much reflection. I’ll put several outta the 3x6 footprint and see how they do..

A suggestion if I might.
We set my assistant/apprentice up in a room and he run's two 315's also. We set the plants in a 3x5+ arrangement and place that foam insulation board around it, This is sort of what it is, I am not an engineer or artist but you get the point.

We actually lay the insulation board open some where the lights reflect off the walls. These boards can be moved to get in an work on the plants. This has worked well for him and if I had the room I would do the same setup.

Mine just came that way. I got the cheap ones off amazon to see how they were and I love them. Will def be upgrading to the vivosun and Phillips bulb in the next few runs. My 2 shitty topogro 315’s have performed well enough for me so far

Different environment, different setups. My ballast are separate but I keep them in the grow room where temps do not exceed 85f. A little more heat for my AC to deal with indeed.

Only because....the garage outside my grow room, temps daily exceed 100f during summer months and any heat wave. Possibly shorten ballast life.
