Hydro Crunch Parabolic Vertical Grow Light Reflector Hood, White

I've worked for a garden supply retailer in the past and tested many different hood types and this is my favorite. You can't beat the light spread of this reflector. It will cover a 4x4 area with a 600w bulb easily. 1000w would be preferred but I aim for efficiency. It only offers the option to mount the bulb vertically now where as the one I bought 10 years ago gave you the parts to mount it horizontal as well, but I think vertical is superior for light distribution and makes it easier to get airflow over the bulb. The cord is a little short for bigger rooms but something you can plan for. It is heavy at 40 lbs but its sturdy.

I was looking for an umbrella lighting system. And I should have taken a closer look when I saw the price. But I bought it anyway and when it got here I realized it didn't come with a ballast. I knew the light wasnt included. So be prepared to spend more than the cost of this unit on a ballast as well...and the lights also. But I'm still giving this 5 stars because not reading the description was MY FAULT. And once I got the right ballast (1st order they sent me a "new" broken one) the unit has been working great.

I purchased two earlier in the year assembled them even had some extra hardware, beautiful reflectors much brighter than the small wing they replaced. Items arrived quickly and defect free. The second set were a little different they arrived with the mogul bracket attached to the mounting plate, the bolts and wing nuts used to assemble in both orders scratched the first reflector leaf in each order. Please rethink the partial assembly it scratched my beautiful reflectors. Make sure you have room for these!

Awesome, great for 1000 watt H.P.S, METAL HALIDE, 600 H.P.S FULL SPECTRUM.

Works as expected...

It works and It was priced low. I don't like how it radiates heat out to the sides.

It was a good experience.

No hardware included! How are you supposed to put it together with no screws 😡
