How to turn a square block of grow light coverage into a 50% larger rectangle of light is easy. LightRail light movers make it possible. A stationary grow light has a light pattern that is square, or close to square. This is also true of grow lights that are slightly rectangular in shape. Either way, the light coverage for these stationary grow lights are a simple block of light on the plants’ canopy. But, grow lights that move on light movers have a more elongated light pattern. It’s more of a rectangle for that plant light coverage. In other words, a more traditional sized stationary grow light with a light block of 3′ (1m) squared will now have a linear light footprint of about 4.5′. Or, a grow light with a footprint of 4′ (1.2m) squared as stationary will now have a linear footprint of about 6′ (1.8m). The width of that light pattern will not change because light movers are linear light movers. So, inline is where the extra coverage is achieved so in length, not in width. And no matter the grow light, the proportion of covered area going from a stationary plant light to a moving plant light will see this change. And it’s significant.
For larger LED grow lights, similar extra coverage can also be achieved. And, with the larger LED grow lights, the LightRail RoboBar helps provide even, smooth movement. Compatible with LightRail 3.5 and LightRail 4.0 exclusively, the RoboBar dimensions are 34″ x 30″ (86cm x 75 cm), so provides triangulated, acute hanging angles for extra smooth travel along the Rail. The four hanging points provide easy support for any LED grow light. So, LightRail will move any of the larger LED grow lights, all brands/any dimensions, and can cover 50% more linear area per grow light.
Cover up to 50% more area per grow light
Imagine this. By moving a single grow light on a light mover, you might get a few more feet of planted area. Or, for a larger grow room or greenhouse with what was eight stationary grow lights planned out, you can do this. With LightRail light movers, you can turn that into a rectangular grow light coverage area needing only six grow lights . Then, for an even larger grow room or indoor farm setting with sixteen grow lights planned out as stationary plant light, you can do this. You can turn that rectangular grow light coverage area into needing only twelve grow lights. That’s a huge LightRail light mover advantage towards the cost of grow lights.
In addition to saving on grow lights, there are other areas of savings when grow lights are moved with light movers. For one, fewer grow lamps are needed. And, fewer grow lamp replacements are needed. Also to mention, fewer grow lights and fewer grow lamps end up in the landfill. So, the environmental impact along those lines is significant. Towards that thinking, the environmental impact of producing extra unneeded grow lights and grow lamps is worth a mention. And, that production is often in countries with little regard for those environmental impacts.
Reducing electrical consumption
When up to 50% fewer grow lights are needed, that is huge for reducing electrical usage. Even with more efficient LED grow lights, we see this. They still consume vast amounts of electricity in order to deliver what their electrical output needs to be for success. So, no matter the grow light, reducing their number in a grow room, a greenhouse, or an indoor farm is important. And, sometimes the electrical grid available dictates that cuts need to be made. So, for saving on electricity and for the environmental angle to saving on electricity, light movers are brilliant. And, all of this is from a LightRail Motor that uses only 5 watts. LightRail light movers are ranked as the single best grow light efficiency product on the market. And, it is easy to see why.
Cover more area and get better yields
Growth rate is faster and yields are up significantly when grow lights are moved. And, that’s with covering more linear area – up to 50% more linear area per grow light. The reason for this is that rectangular grow light coverage angles in the plant light to more leaf area. It’s actually the only way to get grow light penetration. And, that’s with no hot spots, no shadow patterns and a closer more penetrating grow light interaction. The result is more of the leaves are now efficiently working for the good of the plant. And, the results are faster crop rotations with much better yields per cycle. So, whether in a greenhouse or grow room, and whether for indoor farming or cannabis cultivation, LightRail light movers are the perfect solution.
