lightmoveraLight Movers

Light movers allow you to cover a greater area, and ensure that all plants receive the same light so you'll have uniform growth. There are two types of light movers on the market; linear tracks best for long and narrow grow rooms, and circular movers that are best for square areas. All tracks and movers can be used with vertical or horizontal reflectors, and 1000 watt or 400 watt light systems.

Hydrofarm Light Track: A popular aluminum linear track that works to hang either horizontal or vertical reflectors. Excellent quality, inexpensive.

Light Rail: Smooth running lightweight 6'  (1.8 m) aluminum track with no sprockets or chains. Options include: add-a-lamp extender, smart box addition and intergrated smart box.

Pro Trac: A precision engineered light track made of heavier aluminum and quality components. Considered one of the best built light tracks on the market. Can move 1, 2 or 3 lights.

Timers

Timers are used to automatically turn on and off your lighting systems. Indoor plants require 12 to 18 hours of light a day; they also require a period of complete darkness.  High intensity lighting requires a grounded timer for safety. Multi on/off cycle timers can also be used to regulate pumps in flood and drain systems, CO2 units etc.  We offer more than 10 models with a wide variety of timing options.
