The plants underneath get less light than the lamp's wattage suggests, so they stretch towards it and come up thin and weak. Enclosing the lamp in a reflective hood concentrates that light onto the tray, keeping young plants compact and sturdy, while the CFL's low heat lets you hang it close without scorching tender leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew in a \u003cstrong\u003eCFL grow lamp of up to 300W\u003c\/strong\u003e: blue spectrum for seedlings, cuttings and vegetative growth, red spectrum for flowering top-up light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHang the reflector \u003cstrong\u003ehorizontally or vertically\u003c\/strong\u003e using rope ratchets or chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart around \u003cstrong\u003e20-30cm above the plants\u003c\/strong\u003e and raise it as they grow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch on with the \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in switch\u003c\/strong\u003e, or run it from a timer for consistent day lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maxibright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Closed dual-parabolic CFL reflector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLamp compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e CFL grow lamps from 125W up to 300W (lamp sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLampholder:\u003c\/strong\u003e E40 screw fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e fitted lead with UK 3-pin plug, built-in on\/off switch, no ballast needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hangs horizontally or vertically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReflector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hammered (dimpled) high-shine aluminium insert in a white powder-coated steel housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVentilation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slots in the ends and top let warm air escape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52.5 x 32.5 x 17.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 3.65kg (about 4kg packed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border:1px solid #e6e6e6;border-radius:8px;padding:12px 16px;margin:0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;\"\u003eIs a CFL lamp included?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 0;\"\u003eNo. The reflector comes wired with its lead, UK plug and switch, ready for a CFL grow lamp of up to 300W, which is sold separately.
