New reflectors

Post by Scott »

I got some new spider reflectors for my metal halides several weeks ago and just got a chance to put them in. I couldn't believe the difference. Before I was using some aluminum roof flashing that I had polished. The lighting consists of 2 250 watt 6500k Iwasaki's and 4 110 watt VHO's.
