Vertizontal Reflector
ADVANTAGES of VERTICAL REFLECTORS:
• Large size provides a wide area coverage from low
mounting heights
• Will accommodate all sizes of MH and HPS lamps.
• Low mounting height reduces distance to plants and
thus increases light levels. The graph below illustrates
the dramatic effect distance has on light levels.
• As light moves away from its source (the lamp) it
diminishes as follows 1 / Distance2 For example:
1 foot = .......................1000 FC
2 feet = 1/ 4 ................. 250 FC
3 feet = 1/9 .................. 111 FC
4 feet = 1/16 ................ 63 FC
5 feet = 1/25................. 40 FC
6 feet = 1/36 ................ 28 FC
ADVANTAGES of HORIZONTAL REFLECTORS:
• HID lamps emit light in a continuous 360° ring
eminating out from the arc tube. The main reason
horizontally mounted lamps perform better is because
much of their light is thrown downward.
• The introduction of specular pebble aluminum insert
increased the light output (because of better reflectivity
than powder coated steel) and evened out light patterns
(because of its better diffusion qualities.)
• It burns MH and HPS lamps in the horizontal position
but in an eight sided parabolic shaped reflector. In the
horizontal burning position, much of the lamp's light is
thrown straight down and the balance of the lamp's light
which is eminating upward is re-directed back down in
eight different directions simultaneously due to the
unique shape of the center piece. This center is made
entirely of 95% reflective aluminum for maximum
reflectivity and evenness. The Vertizontal also features
our Adjust-A-Socket mechanism for horizontal and
vertical lamp adjustment.
The Best of Vertical... the Best of Horizontal...the
Vertizontal Delivers the Best of Both!
