The side lights are from HLG lighting and are Elite 360's with a potometer installed.
Holy shit nice job @Capt. C !!! That thing is a BEAST! That pic where you have it propped up, looks like a mean ass double stacked semi truck grill lol
Nice dang light there Capt. ???
Thanks @spyralout . The Elite are 360 watts each.
Got me on the coverage area @jpcyan2
. Kind of like building a hot rod never sure how fast it will be . I will be using it in a 4x4 tent. I don't remember on the center light cost as i have had it stored for a good while. The elite 360's were right at 700 for the pair ( they have the far red and deep red on the boards). The least expensive part really chapped my ass at the hardware store. 72 dollars for the 3/4" aluminum angle. I said hang on i might need my credit card.
4x4 Jesse.
Dude that would be BADASS lol and very fitting ?
Nice. Add 10 more watts somehow so you get 1320w (1/4 mile ?).
Ur light is going to kill that 4x4. I'm so jelly! Awesome work ?
Yes not changing anything in the existing flower room. The new light is in the 4x4 tent i acquired. Not sure i won't to see the electric bill running both simultaneously so i may alternate. I got it hung in the tent yesterday and fired it up. I need welding goggles in there
@Uncle Rom I probably won't crank it all the way and yes they are actual watts. The veg setting on the big light is only 200 watts and i will most likely keep it on that setting when i go into flower. Not sure how far i will crank the 360's maybe somewhere between 200-300 watts each. Will maybe shoot for a total of 600-700 watts. The 550 will stay were she is at as she fits my 3x6 flower room well as i have it on a mover. I see one small problem already on the prototypes of the 360's and a lot of other units have the potentiometer located on top of the unit so that is were i put it. I have numbers on the potentiometer but i can't see them on the top. I should have reversed that so i could see them while looking up at the light.Food for thought for anyone else building something like this. I bet it weights around 40ish pounds
40 lbs isn't too bad, a 1000w HPS XXXL Magnum hood is about 30 lbs. That sucks about the potentiometer, that would drive me nuts. Maybe make some tick marks like braille ? I do all kinda shit by feel especially in tighter spaces that I can't get a good look at.@Uncle Rom I probably won't crank it all the way and yes they are actual watts.

Sh*t ya man. Real nice work. Glad your trying out those 360 s. I’ve flirted with the idea of gettin some. I sold a few of my 315 cmh s lately and found a home for my 1k hps also. Just haven’t done the deal yet. I only kept the nanolux 315 and a couple small led rigs. Doing Reno’s and such. Might end up moving to a bigger spot. eventually when the time comes I will do a build with either those 360 s or Cree cobs. I sold some fixtures so I could justify spending a grand or so building a baller light or two when the time comes.@Uncle Rom I probably won't crank it all the way and yes they are actual watts.
