Reflectors

Reflectors or Shades as they are sometimes known are used to reflect the light from your lamp down towards your plants, in the same way you use a lamp shade at home to reflect the light from your lamp around your room. There are lots of different styles and shapes of reflectors on the market all giving a slightly different reflection and light spread to you plants. From lamps being held horizontal or vertical in the reflector to air cooled reflectors ensuring a cooler grow room.

The most popular reflector is called a Euro Reflector. It is at the budget end of the market however this reflector offers excellent value for money and it gives a good spread.
From the tests we have seen and customer feedback the best 120cm square spread from a reflector is the Pro Ultralite Reflector. This reflector gives a very good even spread leaving no part with more or less light.

The Great 8 Reflector from SunKing and the Diamond Reflector are both good reflector at the top of their game. They both give a good spread of light and ensure there are no hot spot on your plants. If you wish for a reflector that will spread the light out a bit further then a horizontal lamp holder in a reflector then the Parabolic Reflector is the one for you. This has a vertical lamp holders that ensures the light covers a wider area.

I you are looking for an air cooled reflector then we have the Cool Tube Air Cooled Reflector from Prima Klima and the Silverstar Air Cooled Reflector. Air cooled reflectors help to cool your grow room by sucking all the hot air produced by your lamp out of you room before it gets a chance to heat it up. Other advantages are that you can have your reflector closer to your plants without fear of burning them.
