Reduction is fine imo. 6" is good for 1kW. I like 8" if chaining a couple.

Damn ! When you get them bad boys fired up shoot me a pic ! I enjoy some good raptor porn.

I've read they are good for shorter plants over a broad area. Is that what you're going for?

Niiiice !!! I like how you can pull the light up almost flush with the top of the tent. I've been trying to figure out how I can get a few more inches in height to allow for growth. I like your idea.

Tent is 4x8 x7
Sorry it took so long to respond. Check out my grow. Little more specific in threads. I ended up replacing the wratchets with snap clips to get an additional 8 inches
