Though this might sound odd, I would look on marijuana forums, under the cultivations sub-boards


this is where I get most of my lighting information

my one problem is i went from t-8s daylight blubs(really bright) to led lights which have the light concentrating on a 18 in circle9 (not much side light) but ifyou look right at them they blind you

I don't know much about the systems besides that they can be priced pretty high, compared to more traditional options.

Though, if your concern is about light penetration, I would suggest just taking some measurements with your light meter.

some of the best info you can find. Those guys tend to have disposable income and reason enough to test new set-ups and ways to optimize them. So they are always working with new horticulture tech. And since pot is an annual, they can see results, or lack there of, in a reasonably short amount of time.
