Default Anyone running Hydras?

Hey,

Curious if anyone is running AI Hydras, What do you think of them and what are you running ideal spread of 1 fixture?

We use them on our quarantine and the color is fantastic.

I also like that I don't need a computer or the internet to adjust the lights. EcoTech and GHL should launch a handheld device for their lights.

We have each module spread out 12" apart.

12'' apart so roughly 24'' spread from each end of the fixture?

So do you have 2 or 3 over a 4' span? Also do you find any shadowing if the answer is 2 over 4'

We are using 6 units on an 8ft span. We would have used 8 units but both our overflow boxes are 6" deep (12" total) so there is no point in lighting those up.

Hmm.. do you think there would be a lot of shadowing with 2 over a 4' span.

That depends if you are running them lengthwise or widthwise.

You can certainly start with 2 modules and add a 3rd if needed down the road.
