Hey quick question. I was looking at the hydrofarm light track system but there does not seem to be very much info out there about it. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these? Also would it be able to support a 4' parabolic with a 600watt bulb? I would post a link but I'm not sure what the rules are here.

Thank you for your time. I just want to make sure I don't buy junk.

If it is the chain drive one, don't do it. I use one of the worm drive ones, it cost about $240. The first time I tried it, I tried to cover a 4x6 with 1000 watts with a parabolic and it was a miserable failure. I blame my greed and the parabolic reflector with vertical bulb.

This is what I think of light movers... They don't give you more area, they just give you more even growth. Currently my mover moves a whole 2.5 ft. I use it to keep the plants from burning when I have a 1000 watt bulb 4" away. Yep, with a light mover you can have the bulb pass by your plants so close it's amazing. The bare bulb comes within less than 8" of 80% of my buds.

I have read nothing but bad things about the hydrofarm chain drive, including jamming and burning down houses. I looked at one and said no way.

Hydrofarm sports many inferior products , gotta be careful with them in my opinion .. They are like the Walmart of the Grow Industry but with high prices .. Get what you need now , the prices will be adjusted due to inflation once more again .. Reputable source here , I work for a Authorized Hydrofarm Dealer lol Take the advice above and run ! There Active Air lineup is junk too for the most part .. Cheap shoddy Chinese made junk !
