The Vertizontal reflector burns MH or HPS lamps in the horizontal position but in an eight sided parabolic reflector. This way much of the light is thrown downward without interruption and the balance is split up by our uniquely shaped center piece which divides up light and directs it outward in eight different directions simultaneously. The center is made entirely of spectral pebble aluminum for maximum reflectivity and evenness.
Advantages of Vertical Reflectors :
|
|
Because of their large size, wide area coverage from low mounting height. |
| |
Low mounting height reduces distance to plants and thus increases light levels. |
| |
As light moves away from its source (the lamp) it diminishes as follows: Light < 1/Distance2. |
| |
|
Advantages of Horizontal Reflectors :
|
|
HID lamps emit light in a continuous 360° ring emanating out from the arc tube. The main reason that horizontally mounted lamps perform better is because much of their light is directed downward without having to be reflected off of a surface. |
| |
The introduction of specular pebble aluminum inserts increased the light outputs because of better reflectivity than powder coated steel) and evened out light patterns (because of its better diffusion qualities). |

This reflector is made of steel and powder coated white. The spectral pebble aluminum insert increases light output by 30%. The unit also includes chrome wire hangers, die punched holes for easy socket mounting and a printed UPS shippable carton.
Note:Each reflector features the Adjust-A-Socket mechanism for horizontal and vertical lamp adjustment.
