["Mariano F. Bonfante" <mariano_bonfante at hotmail_com>]

I have made my own reflector with stainless steel.

They are used in an open frame, with an HQI pendant. What I notice is that 
plants reacts to the PLL in differnt way that HQI. The internode distance is 
much smaller.

The final photos shows the all lights on condition, and HQI alone condition.

With a luxometer, I have messaure the following gains:

20Cmts
No reflector vs. reflector: 97%
glass mirror vs. reflector: 93%.

40 cmts
No reflector vs. reflector: 79%
glass mirror vs. reflector:  69%

So a plain mirror limited advantages from no reflector, comparing with a 
reflector.

Regards,


Mariano
