i am going to buy 1 double ended setup this run an add it to my room.. The roof is about 9 feet so I am worried about height . I was thinking of getting the nanolux because of the way the ballast sits and the fact that they are cheaper than hell. I don't see much info about the nanolux but lots of positive things about the gavita. This will be for my isle rows so I'm going to need the lamp With the best output for a wide foot print . It will be replacing an adjusta wing filling a 5x6 space . Which one should I buy.. And thoughts on if I will see s noticAble difference ? Also curious if the outside plants are going to get fucked because the reflector is half the size
Of the adjusta wing. Thanks

I've also heard good things about the Gavitas. I was looking into buying some but haven't pulled the trigger yet. What model are you currently using and how many do you have under each light. Curious to what the max coverage Is, also your canopy height?
-thanks

These things are like cheating . You can't even look at the light without having your vision fucked for the next couple mins . They are brighter than hell and the spectrum of light is really nice. I am very impressed so far
I am still skeptical on the tiny ass reflector . I will get par readings next week . I am trying 5x6 spread, replacing adjusta wing 1ks

What is the scope , high output in PAR, control of temperature?? budget??
There's a new brand to for single grow tent with 1-2 lights and almost needs no ventilation because is double ended balast is actively cooled.

Cheers

Some brands are known for their high output of par light, limitations in ur operation can be temperature, 1000 watts generate more heat then 600 watts and you don't wanna have to much heat above ur canopy, did you buy the remote with the gavitas?

When designing/setting up you operation you always wanna way in multiple factors, such as size op your growroom, options for ventilation/cooling, delta T day/night 18/6-12/12 and off course for urban grow ur powersupply. With or without co2 etc...etc...

The gavita does feel warmer. By hand I can assume my plants can not be any closer than 30 inches from the canopy . I only have 9foot roof so that would be an issue if I ran all gavitas in here. I didn't get the remote I didn't really see a reason to, it is pretty cool but not really necessary for my room. I did get the E series though so if I were to switch in the future I have the option of getting the controller as well. I really like the nanolux, I am hoping the par read out comes close. If it's close I will probably get a few more of the nanolux' DE
