    Default Decent Light Reflector for 600w HPS?

    I've just got some 2nd hand banged up reflectors which probably don't distribute the light as evenly as they should.

    Is it worth investing in new ones, if so can you recommend some or are they all much the same? I keep reading about cooled ones etc, how do these work (noob).

    Cooltubes, great if you have a heat problem as you connect extract through the 'tube' reducing your heat toward the plants. Am running one now and it works

    Parabolic reflector, dished reflector with vertical hanging bulb which direct all light toward your plants. Just bought one to try out

    Sure there are others but these I think are the main 2 other than the expensive commercial stuff

    I've used powerplant mantis pro's for a number of years now, relatively cheap and adjustable.

    Id also add it depends what space your growing in...I used to have a little 80x80 cm cupboard with 1 x 600 and so a Euro reflector was as good as anything else and only £10 however if you need to spread light further then adjustawing gets my vote...

    Not a lot to cover in your current space and adjust a wings are quite big but ideal for your 1.2 mate

    I'm running 600watt mh with a 1m parabolic reflector in a 1.2m,1.2m tent an I've gotta say the parabolic reflector is worth the investment if your having a few plants under it if it's just 1 plant then buy a 600watt led ,I picked up a 600 viparspectra for 115 on eBay bids the other day, well worth a look at
