Description
An Even, Diffuse Footprint from a Reflector That Holds Its Shape
The Defender Reflector is the widely popular, industrial strength model. Its surface is a titanium white heat resistant powder coat that scatters light rather than mirroring it, producing a very diffuse and even light footprint while maintaining a reflective quality of 92%. The base metal is H18 aluminium alloy (3% magnesium), strong yet springy, so the wings return to perfect parabolic curves after rough handling. At its widest setting the Large suits a 1000W lamp, or two 400W or two 600W lamps; the Medium suits a 400W or 600W lamp and the Small a 250W or 400W lamp.
Key Benefits
- 92% reflective quality from a diffuse coating that spreads output rather than concentrating it
- Titanium white heat resistant powder coat that will not discolour above a hot lamp
- H18 aluminium alloy (3% magnesium), springy enough to return to a perfect curve
- Fully adjustable wings: narrow for penetration, wide for a broader spread
- Lamp size by reflector at the widest setting: Large 1000W or two 400W/600W, Medium 400W or 600W, Small 250W or 400W
- Three sizes – Small, Medium and Large – for an ever-changing grow room
A Bright Core in the Middle and Stretching Plants at the Edges
A hard mirrored reflector throws a hot core straight down and leaves the outer plants in shade. The middle bleaches, the corners answer with excessive stretch, and those plants finish with airy flowers and low yields. A diffuse coating spreads the same lamp across the whole footprint.
How to Use
- Set the wings: narrow for penetration, wide for a broader, more even spread
- Match the size – Small, Medium or Large – to the lamp and area
- Lamp loading: at the widest setting, the Large takes a 1000W lamp or two 400W or 600W lamps, the Medium a 400W or 600W lamp and the Small a 250W or 400W lamp
- Hang it level from both ends so the footprint is not skewed to one side
- Keep the lamp central, re-checking after any change to the wings
- Clean between crops with a soft cloth – never abrasives
