Could anybody tell me if using a 2 metre light rail with one 600watt light on is as effective as having two stationary 600's?? the reason i ask is because it will be cheaper to run and easier to keep the temps under control....also if anyone knows of any threads where there being used this would be appreciated. thanks

More lights are always more effective . HOWEVER - for energy savings, Ive found that a light mover on a short run like that gets EXCELLENT results.
I have a 1000w HPS on a 3X6 table that I swear gets 25% bigger buds than when stationary, and gets just as good of results as my 4X8 Tables
with 2 - 1000w .stationary lights. Get a light rail 3.5 ,.
Besides, if you ever do expand, you can always put 2 lights on a mover and get even better results !

thanks for the reply, the 3.5 is the one im looking at getting, 2 of those work out the same price as buying another 2 600's not to mention the money i'll save on electric. How do u add another light? will they both move?

Yup, just look at the "add a light" kit. You add a trolley without a motor and connect the 2 lights with a rod. Really simple.
