Has anyone had any problems using spider farmer LED lights at an angle, instead of being completely level?

If the plant can take the light with an angle... go for it! Also I would recommend to rotate the LED 180° every run. Uneven heat distribution (heat will rise up!) will inflict the higher LEDs and will make them age faster (if you want to use the lamp for a loooooong time).

LED Diodes point straight down,you get very little spread. Lifting the right side up will take the beam away from the left side.They need to be level to light the area they cover sp its not a good idea.If tops are gettin gtoo high yhen bend them towards an area with little or no shoots.

Won't really cause any issues other than it being uneven distribution but an easy fix for that for me would be take the extractor outside the tent then you'd have the space to level it out. Guessing your filter is outside the tent at the min. Just sit the extractor outside on top of the filter and it will still take air out just a little less efficiently. Use as little ducting between the tent and extractor to help with efficiency

just supercrop the taller one, and heavy, so give good support up and down. you loose efficiency of light , by keeping it not flat ...

Are you asking if hanging SpiderFarner lights at an angle is harmful to the light? The answer is "NO." Your grow light will not have any detrimental effects running it at an angle.

Hi, habe bei mir im Zelt 5 Lampen von Spider farmer, 4 mal die 100 Watt und 1 mal die 200 Watt. Ich habe sie am Anfang gerade aufgehängt, aber wegen Platz Mängel weil eine Pflanze zu gross wurde hängt sie jetzt seit ein paar Tag so 13 oder 14 auch schräg und bis jetzt keine Probleme. Ich denke sie leuchtet halt nur nicht optimal die Pflanze aus.

You'll have an uneven PAR across your canopy unless you're growing more vertical. You're gonna have spots either too close or too far away, or half the plant will be shaded by itself. If you need more headroom try mounting the fan outside the tent with only the filter/intake inside the tent.
