Grow Light Reflectors

Designed for use with high pressure sodium (HPS) and metal halide (MH) grow lights, grow light reflectors are a must for any grow room. Grow light hoods use reflective materials to direct the omni-directional light of grow bulbs down towards your plants, reducing the amount of light lost. Grow light hoods can be used by any level of gardener, from beginners to experts. For compact fluorescent (CFL) grow lights, you will need to use a specially designed CFL reflector.

Types of Grow Light Hoods

Air cooled grow light reflectors are sealed off so that they can be directly attached to a separate cooling system. The cooling system ducts the heat out of the fixture so that the humidity of the grow room is not affected. These hood reflectors are sealed with a glass lens and can be used in grow rooms, grow tents, or other enclosed spaces. Cool tube reflectors seal the grow lamp in a tube, making the fixture a better choice for tight spaces.

Non-air cooled grow light hoods are open without a lens, directing heat outwards into the grow room so that it can vented out by the cooling system. Non-air cooled reflectors are inexpensive and come in three types:

Standard hood shaped fixtures can be used in any size garden, but will need supplemental light it being used in a large space.
Wing reflectors, also referred to as "bat wings," can be used for smaller gardens. These grow light reflectors can be placed closer to your plants and are a good choice for beginners.
Parabolic reflectors resemble an umbrella and can cover a wider area, making them a popular choice for supplemental lighting in greenhouses.

Double-ended grow light hoods are designed for use with double-ended HPS grow lamps only; reflectors come in air-cooled and non-air cooled versions. These fixtures generate more light than regular HPS grow lights, helping to increase crop yield during the flowering stage. While double-ended grow light reflectors can be used in any grow room, they generate a lot of heat will need to be mounted higher over your plants. These grow light hoods should only be used with double-ended HPS ballasts.

Tips to Remember
