Should i invest in a light mover?

Hey I'm looking around and seeing the benefits of a light mover. It was suggested to me in a post once as well.

I have a few questions about it tho
I'm currently using an air cooled hood.
A1000 watt mh\hps in a call it 5x5 grow area due to 2 obstacles in the room.
I use a car on filter as smell is a major issue .
How would i use a light mover with the carbo filter and ventilation.
I'm afraid without the air cooled venting that heat it will become an issue.
I have an ac unit in the window but still ..
I have questions any advice would be greatly appreciated

I dont think I'd buy a light mover I think I'd hang 2 600s in there with air cooled hoods and run your fan threw the lights. 5x5 is a fairly small area.

I'd like to but i already have a 400 for veg
I just can't afford to get 2 600for a few months. But i would RATHER that yes.

And like you said its too small for a second 1k I believe

If it were me I’d simply split it up using several small lights. I went the light mover route before. Since then I’ve been happier running several smaller lights or building my leds around the dimensions of the room.

I've read enough about them to know that its rocket science to ME.
I like the results of the leds i just don't have the mechanic skill to build them. And once the numbers start coming at me for the drivers heat sinks all of it my brain just locks up.
I had a post about using led as supplemental side lighting
I'd be happy to build a right around thec1k and provide both lights.
But I'm special when it comes to numbers otherwise I'd have cobs blurples and hps mh just cause or actually whatever the best building for my eoom would be .

1000 watts in a quality air cooled reflector should easily cover 5 X 5. Easily. Better to top, supercrop and SCROG. Far cheaper and more productive. Topping 3 times gives 8 mains. Start early. With this setup you'll get bud.



Emergency setup last Fall. No tent. SCROG was a baby gate i found. But topped and supercropped all summer so it was easy. Sat in the dark 12 hours a day.

This was one plant. Those are side buds.

Thats all I was worried about the fall off of the light at the edges
My next project is organic soil
I was just considering the mover
Thanksfor the advice
Hoping i scrog these correctly.
