My new Project i will be working on over the weekend
Bulb specifications
Brand - China FSL
Length - 4' Long
watts - 36w
Kelvin - 6500k
PAR - 83.7
Lumens - 2780
Magnetic Ballasts [Slow Start]
Ill be using figure (2-1) basic Shape But ill be using 6 inch spaces for each bulb giving a larger reflective surface
Six Inches per gap for each bulb Gives us a fixture size of about 6' x 4' which should cover an area of about
7' x 4.5' OR Figure (2-3) only thing i dont like about this setup is light shining into other bulbs is a waste of light.
hmmmmmm??? Figure (2-1) it is!!!!
EDIT
After reviewing the light reflection patterns of both shapes it seems (2-3) would be a better option with a lil modifications.45* angles on the sides with a flat top would be alot more efficient .
Like this
Only showing Side and Top reflections basically
No wonder those big brand reflectors for HPS stay with 45* angles
Well i Think its time to get my materials and get to work.
