LEC Reflectors
Why Do You Need a LEC Reflector?
- LEC bulbs produce light in all directions.
- Reflectors are used to redirect light towards your cannabis plants.
How to Choose the Best LEC Reflector
When it comes to picking the right LEC reflector, you’ll need to keep the following factors in mind;
- Reflection percentage.
- The design of the reflector in regards to your plants.
You shouldn’t just look for maximum light production, you should also make sure that it is evenly spread out and doesn’t cause hot points.
Your main objective is to make sure ALL plants grow properly.
What Types of LEC Reflectors Are There?
There are two different type of reflectors that can be used with LEC grow lights.
Parabolic Reflectors
- Has an open-curved shape.
- Is less efficient compared to double-parabolic lighting.
- Cheaper model due to its simplicity.
Double-parabolic Reflectors
- This design allows you to fit your lighting to your grow tent.
- More efficient model.
- Perfect for making the most out of your LEC lights.
Some double-parabolic reflectors also have an accessory called a Spreader. You can also add it to other models. Spreaders are used to improve light distribution and to get rid of hot spots under the lamps.
What LEC Reflector Should You Get?
If you already have a reflector for your HPS grow light and you’d like to switch to LEC lighting, you can use an adaptor to switch it over:
- The E-40 CMH/LEC Adaptor Socket allows you to use HPS reflectors with 315w LEC grow lights.
- With the DE Hellion Adjust-a-Wing socket you can use your Adjust-a-Wing reflector with 630w LEC grow lights.
If you’re looking for a cheaper option…
- The hammertone screen reflector alongside the LEC socket adaptor is the most affordable option for 315w LEC grow lights. The aluminium in the reflector can reflect from 80 to 86% light.
- Parabolic in shape, designed for 630w LEC and 1000w DE HPS lights, the LEC Double Ended ECO Reflector is ideal and produces up to 80 - 85% reflective capacity.
These reflectors are more affordable, although it’s not quite as effective as double-parabolic reflectors.
