i have not used glass lenses at all.i use a few reflectors,angenlinas on the lower power bars where i have to keep them higher than i would like.it helps push the light down towards those plants instead of spreading.but still i read you lose around 7% using good reflectors and only gain a lil bit in downward light.some guys like having glass over the cobs for spraying,but i have done many foliars under my setups,ya just need to use caution to keep from spraying the lights
oh i think it would be bad,like more than 10% maybe even 20%.the expensive glass lenses are made of silicon for a reason and why they cost so much. plexi would prob get damaged by the cobs heat ect. and get hazey pretty fast
Awww hell ya I found you man! I'm chilling over here now. Subbed
I appreciate the thought H4ppy. I have done some electronic work. My background is mostly industrial as an electronics technician for more than 40 years. My biggest concern is the lighting layout. I am going to incorporate my SS400's with the COBs and I'm trying to even out the lighting so as not to have any hot spots. Some of the lights may nee to be closer than 1' apart. May have to do some experimentation.
You're going to love those lights!!!!
how much was this setup bro?
