MH too close? PICS Inside

[kogle]

I still think the reflecter I posted a picture of might be your best bet. It might not be the easiest way up front but it might be the best way long term.
I had the same problem your'e having when I upgraded from PC to MH and I went with the mounting them to a board I idea for a while but I didn't realize how much light I was shadowing with the MH reflecters until I switched to this new type.
Hope all works out well for you.

I also think it's a little absurd you threaten to ban me for this??? I mean I could see if it were an actual link but it was no where close....

I was considering cutting off a section of the reflectors to let the vho light shine through...but I thought these reflectors were designed for maximum efficency and me hacking the h3ll out of it would be detrimental for the actual amount of light being re-directed. I mean... people spend tons of money trying to find the right combination of lights,ballast,reflectors,kelvin,wattage, PAR,etc..etc..(not me of course) now to suggest altering a "factory set-up"...Blasphemy!!!!

LOL Seriously though..Thanks for the replies.. I think I will mount the VHOs "outside" the reflectors. NOW I need MOONLIGHT suggestions.... ***) ***) ***)

Mounting ouside the reflectors is the best idea. Restrike is even more damaging to flourescent phosphors than heat and the heat will be bad enough.
