Just curious why you chose to go with parabolic reflectors if your lights are on movers anyway?

The light movers allow me to alternate coverage over a broader area while still not burning the plants sir :) It's an old trick I learned in the Navy ;)

What system will you be running, Hydro or soil? I see you feel the need for IR foil please explain.

Hell of a nice setup. Keep the pics coming. Also how much was that AC? And where can one be purchased?

I've used parabolics in my time as well, but only on certain occasions. I like to give the finger to the electric company as much as possible, and when the setup permits it, I'll sometimes use one 1000 MH with a parabolic on a rail too, for odd times when clones aren't quite ready to go into flower yet, and the crop rotation is slightly off. I currently use 2 1000W HPS on a LR5 right now though with the SuperSun2 reflectors. Damn is it bright in there.

I hear 2 is always better than 1 :) I agree unless you're in a 2x2x2 space :lol:
