Heat shields

[ukcheesehead]

any one useing one? how much lower can u have the refector when useing one? do they realy stop the heat spots and spread the light better ?thanks



The Heat Shields have been designed specifically for horizontal lamps to shield the plants from the hot spot that can often be created below the mounted lamp. Hot spots can cause undesirable stem elongation that leads to uneven growth. The Heat Shield will also help diffuse the light helping spread the light more evenly across the whole growing area. Great for grow rooms with limited height. The Heat Shield easily attaches to your lamp holder

Yeah i got kicked outta school at 14 too but my ol' man was always shit hot at spelling and maths and i guess it just rubbed off. After getting kicked out it took them about 6 months to get private tuition for me, that was only 2 days per week at some room rented in some posh church.

I;'ve not got one on the adjust-a-wing but was thinking about it - but although I read they spread the light, it looks to me like it blocks direct light... not convinced so far...

i was thinking that but the right up in soft secrets last yr explaned it all . it stops heat spots under the bulb and spreads more light over the rest of the growroom . for a more even canopy

I use one, but fuck knows if it works, lol!! im currently using one..

i just read the gumpf on a write up and was convinsed,
lol, i thought it would block light but it does not seem to!

Yeah I use them.

Mainly to help with light radiance, rather than heat discipation. It does help with the hot spots massivly.

IMO, if growing sativas in small spaces where height is an issue, they are a must.

 

[tuffgong69]

yeah i agree with herbalizor..used one for couple years now..the one in the pick is for a 250watt,mines a 6oowatt bulb and shield is longer..deffo work,can get the lights as near as 8inch or so from the tops as opposed to 12 -16..supposed to promote more even canopy..mine cost me about 10 quid,treat yourself,peace.tg
