What is the design footprint of the Raptor reflector?

[gregor_mendel]

I haven't found this information published anywhere.

If you know of a published design footprint, length to width ratio, or a grow log using a single Raptor, please post a link.

My last run was in a 4x4 tent, but I think that is not the way to get the most out of this reflector, which appears to have a very wide footprint.


Thanks for your time

I called Hydrofarm, and bottom line, they can't tell me.

After a while the guy told me the footprint was square, but he wasn't reading that, it was from memory.

My best guess is that the purpose of the Raptor is to compete with Magnum XXXL.

both the raptor and magnum xxxl are designed for low-clearance wide gardens. perfect reflectors for a 5x5 SCROG setup. the raptor is a bit larger and seems sturdier. not easy to put up by one person. the other issue i have is the box. it says raptor and shows a pic of the reflector... and the box is huge... definitely not stealth. the magnum xxxl box is plain black.
not to say they can't perform in a "standard" garden as they do very well.
i wonder if anyone tried them with the new 1500w master-blaster bulbs. must be killer for a 5x5 garden.

a four by four tent should do better with the blockbuster reflector which is 25"x25".
