Storage and convience. Not everyone that grows has the space to leave their gardens setup all the time so the less space the equipment takes up the better.

I thought it was to change angles of the lights maybe. Thanks for the reply.

I didn't think about the lights that have multiple folding angles. Those I think you are right about being able to direct the light. Not sure how important it would be if a person was growing in a tent with reflective side though.

I like the company's that make the grower actually assemble the light. Wonder if the price is actually lower to the grower or if it adds profit to the manufacturer?

Got love a good puzzle!
I use Growcraft lights and spoke with one of their customer support reps recently about adding a light bar to one of my lights.
During one of our email conversations, I asked why Growcraft lights were priced so high.
Part of the answer is that their lights ship fully assembled whereas a lot of their competitors have designed foldable lights. The foldable lights are cheaper to ship but he also said that they're not as durable as a Growcraft. He mentioned that some growers have problems getting their lights to sit level and that's due to the fact that they fold and may not be lining up quite right.

Pretty sure they don't make one that folds like this one does:

How many watts do I need per square foot of grow space?

No, the way the weight of the light makes it straight and many of them cant be anything other than straight /flat once the drivers attached.
30-40. Actual watts, lots of misleading advertising out there...
