Anyone have experience with light movers that can help? First post got no LOVE! +rep

I'm getting this today: http://growgreenmi.com/grow-lights/lighting-accessories-1/light-rail/6-rpm-light-rail-complete-kit-w-2-3-rails

It's separated into 2 3' rails.

I have to side by side rooms that are 6.5x4.5.

Each room has 1000w reflector in it.

I want to use one part of this track in one room, and the other 3' section in the room next to it.....can I do this???

And if I can, what else would I need to get for it?


+rep for anyone who can answer this without any doubt. Thanks!

yes you can use two seperate tracks, but you will need another motor and all to run the second track. you can try to use a straight bar between the two lights but it may be too much strain for the single motor and youll likely blow it out

Ok so either buy an extra motor..or buy one with a higher rpm motor and use a straight bar between the two lights? That mean the lights are going to hang from the straight bar right? I can manage that I think. I'd have to cut into the tent a little probably, but no big deal they're on the same light cycle and I can make it look pretty...

if you use the bar, you will want to make sure everything is straight and sturdy, may even have to use a balance bar on the oposite side so it doesnt rub wrong on the track.

The 6' mover I bought was half the price of that ( Hydrofarm)got on e bay for $86.00) not the best made unit but with a little elbow grease and some of my own little "tweaks" it works flawless.

Ok I'll check it out. If it's not a chain drive maybe I can just get two of those instead. Thanks!
