I am looking for any info on any supplier of t5 and power compact reflectors. I am looking at constructing a DIY canopy because I hate my hanging light setup. I do want a set of quality reflectors.
It is a generic 4 bulb t5 ho enclosure. It has one reflector, and Id like to upgrade to better quality single reflectors. I don't mind reusing the ballast and the tombstones etc, but the reflector is not worthwhile. Id like to get the most light aimed down.What don't you like about your cuttent lighting?
Any improvement is welcome. However anything that is more efficient than my current setup will help. I have access to many sizes of stainless process tubing....which is mirror finished inside from factory......I could cut a piece of 2 inch tubing in half, and make a perfect parabolic reflector. The trick then would be to find a way to adjust its height vs the bulbs so to get the most out of it, which would almost undoubtedly require a par meter.....Chances of that happening is slim to none.It's true, you will see some improvement with good individual reflectors over a single reflector for all bulbs, but I suspect you will not find it that much better.
