I've read the post on here about them . I have a 4by8 flood table and a 1k hps. I was wondering if its sufficient to use just the one light on a mover to save on electric. Or if I should just buy another 1k hps. Anybody have any experience with them. Any info woul be helpful thanks guys!

No, light movers don't really give you more area, they give you evenness. They allow you to get the light closer to the plants without burning. A light mover and 1000 watter isn't going to cover a 4x8.
You will get more yeild with 2x1000 than 1x1000.
I've had tops 4" from a 1000 watt bare bulb without them burning because the light kept moving and I had a fan under it.
All that said, I don't have a problem with light movers. They have some uses and I would be happy to have one over my 4x4 moving 2 ft back and forth just for the benefit but I can't rig one in my current space.
They don't however double your light, despite what they hydro store says.
See my grow in the vertical section for a rather interesting use of a light mover with bare bulb.
