What are grow reflectors?
Reflectors are devices designed to redirect and distribute the light emitted by bulbs toward the plants, thus maximizing the efficiency of the lighting system. Their main function is to prevent light loss to non-productive areas (walls, ceilings) and concentrate it on the growing area.
Why are they so important in indoor growing?
In a closed environment, such as a grow room or tent, every lumen counts. A good reflector can increase the intensity and uniformity of the light received by plants, resulting in greater growth, more even flowering, and larger harvests. It also allows for better temperature control and optimized energy consumption.
Who are these products intended for?
They're essential for indoor growers who use high-intensity light bulbs (HPS, MH, LEC/CMH). Both beginners and experts can benefit from a reflector tailored to the size of their space, crop type, or temperature needs.
What types of reflectors can you find?
- Open "Stucco Aluminum" reflectors: economical, lightweight, and easy to install. Ideal for small spaces.
- Adjustable “Adjust-a-Wings” reflectors: allow you to modify the opening angle for better coverage.
- Closed or cooled "Cooltube" reflectors: These channel the heat generated by the lamp and expel it away from the crop. Highly recommended for warm climates or compact grow cabinets.
- Professional double-ended (DE) reflectors: designed for double-ended lamps, used in high-performance crops.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cannabis Grow Reflectors
What type of reflector do I need for a 600W HPS bulb?
Ideally, a medium-sized open reflector or a Wing-type reflector is ideal for better coverage control. If the space is small and hot, a Cooltube or closed reflector is an excellent option.
What is the advantage of a vented reflector (Cooltube)?
Reduces heat inside the grow room by directly extracting the hot air generated by the bulb. Perfect for cabinets or rooms with poor ventilation or high temperatures.
