CMX22 cob w/ LEDiL Angelina reflectors. Spacing help for even light dispersion... modeling software?

[Akira90]

Hello,

Does anyone have any suggestions on spacing for CMX22 Cobs for a space of 6ft x10ft? I was considering running them at up to 80W a pop and running 4 rows of 11 cobs for the space. Im limited to 4 rows due to the way the heat sinks are set up. I can control the spacing between the rows and each cob in the row. Any help with spacing would be appreciated. Also, I will be using the LEDiL Angelina reflector that Cobkits.com sells. My goal is to get 900-1000 micro moles with as even coverage and reduced hot spots as possible.

Space them 12" apart both ways.. Gives great coverage..

I was going to use 11 across and keep the last two at each end closer to each other to even out the lack of overlap on the last cob if that makes sense?

7 cobs per row, spaced about 18 inches apart. Space the four rows 18 inches apart as well.

No reflective walls?

No as that is where the walkway is.

That would mean roughly 600W per 4x4 tray area. I was planning on putting down closer to 940W per 4x4 tray area. Easy to dim down when needed but thought it might be nice to have higher output as I want to start using my CO2 generator in the room also.

Then yeah, bunch them at the end somewhat and open the spacing some in the center.

Yeah that was just rough estimate spacing them equally based on the four row limitation.

Damn, that's a lot of light! Hope you find you're able to make use of it, but damn... That's a lot of light!
