Reflectors

Reflectors for plant lights

In the world of plant cultivation, whether in grow boxes or in commercial facilities such as greenhouses, reflectors with E40 sockets play a crucial role. These reflectors are often used in conjunction with sodium vapour lamps (HPS) and metal halide lamps (MH) to achieve efficient light distribution and improved light output. In this overview you will learn how reflectors with lamp sockets can optimally illuminate your plants.

The role of reflectors with E40 socket

A reflector with an E40 socket is used to focus the light of a lamp and direct it in the desired direction. This results in an even and effective illumination of the area you want to light. These reflectors are particularly useful when using sodium vapour lamps (HPS) and metal halide lamps (MH), as they can specifically control the light from these lamps and optimise the light output.

Differences in light spectrum and application

Sodium vapour lamps mainly produce light in the yellow and red range of the spectrum, which is ideal for flowering and fruiting plants. Metal halide lamps, on the other hand, offer a broader spectrum of light colours. Reflectors make it possible to specifically control the light of these lamps and adapt it to the needs of your plants.

Different types of reflectors

There are different types of reflectors that are suitable for different applications:

  • Smooth wall reflectors: These reflectors have a smooth inner surface and distribute the light evenly in the room. They provide good general lighting and are often inexpensive.
  • Wing reflectors: With their curved shape and wings on the sides, these reflectors direct the light forward and offer better directional control. They are ideal for lighting plants in grow tents and greenhouses.
  • double ended reflectors: These reflectors are designed for lamps with double-ended sockets and offer efficient light distribution. They can provide a higher luminous efficacy.
Making the right choice

Choosing the right reflector is crucial for successful plant cultivation. It is important to select the reflector based on the power of the lamp, the area to be illuminated and other specific requirements. We are happy to assist you and help you find the right reflector for your individual needs. With the right combination of lamp and reflector, you can maximise the growth and health of your plants.
