Thoughts on parabolic reflectors

Post by Josh »

Hey guys! I've been using a 600-1000 watt de hps for a while now. Makes great buds but the reflector is tiny tiny, 8 inches by 15 inches. Found this reflector (used) for cheap on amazon
Worth the purchase you think?
The dimensions are 37x31 (inches)

I'm lighting a 4x4 (foot) area with the small reflector now, will this bigger one up yields by quite a bit you think?

I've only used the Dutch barn type for CFLs.

Let us know how it works out for you.

i like my reflector and i dont
pro is nice even light spread, vertical bulb for mine so no hot spots

con it just fits in my tent and to me seems to trap heat under , and i loose about 5 to 6 inches of tent hight
We can get swept away by our thoughts,,or learn to step back and see them with clarity.
Easy to forget its a choice
