I just took one out of the box. I stated that wrong. The depth is 2-3/4", the reflector is 6" wide. Still seems too narrow for an 18" shelf when the light is that close to the plants. I'm sure I'll be able to make the decision once I get everything set up.

I'm thinking of making a shelf inside, so I'll have twice the floorspace x 3' high or is that not a good idea?
Mayo62 said:
- how many armatures (with 2 lamps in it) will I need per floorspace of 3.6' x 3.6' ?
Mayo62 said:
I'm not sure how much heat the lamps will produce.. nor how cold the garage will get this Winter...
- what is the optimum temperature for my seedlings inside my tent?
Mayo62 said:
I can insulate the outside of the tent if needed and will insulate the floor.
Or, if it might get too warm I can place a fan and open up the tent zipper
Mayo62 said:
- Are heating mats a must? Or is that only usefull for germinating seeds?
Mayo62 said:
- Will leaving the lamps on 24/7 be benefical or do plants really need their off-time?
Mayo62 said:
- Will I need to water and feed the seedlings as if it is Summer and they are in the ground, or do they need less?
