Full SpectrumĮach plant is different in terms of the natural light it requires for growth, from the seedling stage all the way up to harvest, which makes choosing a sufficient grow light a huge importance.Ī major advantage of the ViparSpectra Reflector Series is that, since it provides a full spectrum, you can use it for any type of plant you choose. We’re going to cover each feature and quality offered by this panel, and how valuable of a solution it can be for anyone from hobbyists to experienced horticulturists who’ve been growing indoors for decades. Available in several sizes ranging from 300 watts, all the way up to 1200 watts, these fixtures are quickly becoming a popular, budget-friendly option for all kinds of growers. The newly released ViparSpectra Reflector Series LED Grow Lights offer many advantages for a wide range of growing areas, that can be safely and effectively multiplied many times over, depending on the size of your desired indoor garden. This makes it very difficult to support your garden with the growth and light they require. Many grow lights compromise on either the spectrum of light they provide, the intensity and focus of the light, or both. The development cycle, stage of growth, or kind of plants you’re cultivating also can be an important determining factor. One of the biggest challenges with indoor growing is providing the appropriate light at the right times.

Whichever reflector you choose to use, you can be sure that you are buying a high-quality piece of equipment. The disadvantages of doing this is that it will be more expensive (as you will need another ballast and bulb) and more heat will be produced - the issue of heat, however, is usually only a problem during the summer. In this case, you will actually be producing more light in your grow room. In some cases using these reflectors can be beneficial – due to the fact that you can fit more of them into a larger area.įor example, instead of using two Adjust-a-wings in a 1.2m x 2.4m tent, you may wish to use three euro reflectors. Whilst these reflectors are better suited for larger areas, many growers still prefer to use the standard euro reflector due to its low price. This huge reflector will remove most of the heat from your lamp and remove it outside of your room via an extraction fan. If temperature is a problem in your grow room then you may wish to consider buying an air-cooled reflector such as the Silverstar. These reflectors can also be adjusted to focus the light on a specific area or opened to increase the spread of light. The Adjust-a-wing reflector is designed to cover a substantially larger area then a euro reflector - each one will cover a 1.2m 2 area effectively. This reflector allows you to extract most of the heat from the source (the lamp) meaning that the temperature in your grow room will be lowered drastically.The only real disadvantage from using this system is that it requires an extraction fan and ducting - making it more expensive.įor larger grow areas (1.2m 2 and over) there is a larger variety of reflectors available.
The Prima Klima Cool Shade is designed specifically for small, confined areas. If, however, you want to use a higher wattage lighting system then you will probably need an air-cooled reflector. In such a small space you would not usually use a lighting system over 400 watts due to the amount of heat produced by HPS lamps. These are designed to cover a 75cm x 75cm area – but with reflective sheeting they should be sufficient for any area up to 1m 2. When deciding on which reflector to buy, you should consider the size of your grow room, the amount of heat produced by your lamp(s) and your budget.įor small grow areas (up to 1m 2) a euro reflector will usually suffice. We stock a wide variety of reflectors and have one suitable for any type of grow – these include standard euro reflectors, Adjust-a-wing reflectors and air-cooled reflectors. Without one, your lamp will still work but a lot of light will be wasted by being projected away from your plants. As the name suggests, a reflector will reflect the light from your lamp down onto the canopy of your plants. To get the most out of your lamp and ballast it is essential to use a reflector.
