Has anybody tried setting this up side ways so that it is 4 ft by 8 ft floor. 4 feet tall would be fine for most grows, the extra floor would be great

I think it would work, but there might be some awkward things about it after it is turned on its side. The spill tray wouldn't serve a purpose anymore. Opening the door flaps might get awkward--one will end up lying on the floor where you will be kneeling to get inside and the other will be flopped on top and probably causing the side (which is now the top) wall to droop in under its weight. But, it would probably work--good luck.

It's about 22 inches long and 4 inches wide, maybe 3 inches deep. It fits neatly under a 24 inch grow light. Good luck!

Although we are fairly new to the game, we are having good results with 2 of them down the center of a 5 X 9 Gorilla tent, so I guess that means that one should handle around 22.5 square feet. At present they are around 4 to 4 .5 feet from the floor and we raise them gradually as the plants grow. According the the previous responders, we are just a little on the conservative side. We really like these light kits.

Mine are set up, and covered in plants at the moment. However, I have one unit in the basement that is still in the box that I have not yet set up. Dimensions of the box are 51" x 22" x 4", so the actual unit will be slightly smaller than that, if that helps.

Ok I think the easiest way to put it is... take a regular size wall height cut it in half and divide it into 3 parts it is only big enough for one of those three parts. I'm not good at guessing inches and feet. Sorry hope this helps

Don, I bought the two foot model for seedlings. If you want to really light up a 4x4 area you will want more tubes. More tubes = more light, more light = more growth and healthy plants.

Hello, unfortunately mine did not get to be more than a foot tall. I was shipped well, and was very healthy. I brought mine indoors and is alive. This season I will place it against a reflective surface to get more rays. The botanical name is Ruttya fruticosa Lindau. And I do recommend it if you the room. It is listed for a 6x6' growth pattern. Full sun to light shade. I purchased it from Emerald Goddess Gardens. I will buy from them again. P.s. if we had an actual Summer last year I am sure it would 3 feet tall.

I think the unit is too small for that size room. If I am not mistaken sunbean has another units for larger rooms. I use it in a 30 square foot room, it makes the room very hot , but this might not be the case in a larger room.

I've been able to put as many as 4 medium plants under it. You can probably fit more

Yes, I currently have the same size table with 4 plants growing and they are doing fantastic. Make sure you are using a big enough container ( at least 3 gallon) for the root structure and you will be amazed.

sure it would be a good choice it is full spectrum but runs cool if you need some warmth then hps, or metal halide. I have a plant 4 foot tall 3 foot wide so i added a 4 foot shop light on its end next to it. the 2 work well together.

The light may not be strong enough to use as a grow light, unless it's a supplement to other light, say, from a window. It has three levels of light, and the highest one is excellent for reading. The area lit is not huge, maybe a foot by 1.5' square. I would hesitate to use it as a grow light, although I love the lamp, and which they had a floor model.

I have a 4' 8-tube fixture and it won't fit.I use a 2' 8-tube to start seedlings and then switch over to a HID fixture.

This would be fine, may promote stronger stems. I would add full spectrum after one week or two, if your not planning on moving it to soil or hydro after propagation. You may place it as close as 5" just keep an eye on temp make sure it stays about 75 just warmer then normal veg room.

For growing yes, but don't expect much flowering. I run 6 of them in a 4 by 4 room.
