Agreed, but I would rock a vertical with it.

It would be a waste. You're losing one of the biggest benefits of LED in that they are directional. That thing is like a bulb in the way it would disperse light. Rocking it bare within the canopy is the only way it would really make sense.

In one of my veg tents(3x5), i run an 8 bulb T5. A couple years ago, I decided to add individual 2ft T5s to the corners for side lighting. It helped a lot. Several months ago, I replaced the corner lights with power strips and 2 Ecosmart bulbs per corner. The difference in light output was crazy, and it's only an extra 20 or so watts total versus the fluorescents.
