Hortitek FAQ's
Panels put all the light through one surface, which suits a square footprint and a single hanging point. Bar fixtures spread the same wattage across six separate bars, which evens out the light across the canopy and reduces the hot spot directly underneath. For a larger or rectangular footprint, bars generally give a more even result.
They are slim supplementary fixtures — 20W at 600mm and 30W at 900mm. They suit propagation shelves, seedling racks, a mother plant, or adding light to the side of a canopy a main fixture does not reach. They are not intended to light a full flowering canopy on their own; that is what the GrowBoard and Six Bar fixtures are for.
Use the coverage area on the individual product page rather than working from wattage, then verify with a PAR meter once it is hung. Manufacturer coverage figures assume an ideal hanging height and reflective walls; your tent, your height and your canopy shape all change the result, especially at the edges.
Yes. Essentially all the power a fixture draws ends up as heat in the room, whether it leaves as light or directly as warmth. Stepping from a 220W panel to a 720W six-bar changes what your extraction has to handle, so plan the fan and filter alongside the light rather than after it.
