Standard Horizontal
reflector
Light distribution & associated growth, using one 400w lamp fitted with
standard horizontal reflector.
*Zone of over heating & elongated growth, with uneven maturation
*Low Yields because edges are poorly lit.
*Increased time between harvests due to uneven maturation.

Adjust-A-Wings
Reflector Systems
light distribution & associated growth pattern using one 400w lamp fitted
with a Super-Spreader (Light & heat spreading accessory)
*Vigorous even growth with even maturation. No zone of over heating.
*Higher yields in shorter periods. Ideal for use in confined spaces.
*Low power consumption. Great heat Dispersion
Adjust-A-Wings fitted with Super Spreaders are 3 times more efficient than
standard reflectors.

Super
Spreaders
The "Super Spreader" will greatly enhance the performance of any
horizontal H.I.D. lighting fixture. (For use with any of our lighting kitsets)
By attaching the Super-SpreaderTM accessory, the Adjust-A-Wing® reflectors
become even more efficient and may be placed an unprecedented 20-30 cm from
growing plants to produce awesome light levels, increased area coverage and
deep foliage penetration without burning or overheating the crop. The "Super-Spreader"
is first and foremost a light spreader. It creates a super wide ultra even
light distribution pattern by efficiently reflecting excess light from the
central "hot spot" towards grow room extremities. The "Super
Spreader" reduces heat intensity by reflection but also acts as an efficient
"cooling fin" in situations where there is reasonable airflow around
the lamp. These unique features allow growers to bring lights closer to plants
and experience the benefits of greatly increased power and penetration, promoting
more even growth and less heat over your growing area (See Adjust-A-Wings
Info), try some, put them to the test !!! The "Super Spreader" will
greatly enhance the performance of any horizontal H.I.D. lighting fixture.
Advanced features:
*Creates wider, more even light spread.
*Eliminates "hot spots" & "shady edges".
*Promotes vigorous even plant growth.
*Improved yields in shorter periods.
*Higher light levels without burning.
*Position much closer to plants.
*Range of Sizes available.
*Suits most horizontal lamps & reflectors.
The Super Spreader is a simple device that performs some amazing tricks using
basic science.
i) The inverse square law.
Light intensity decreases at a rate equal to the inverse square (1 / X sq)
of the distance from it's source. Eg) two times closer = four times more intense,
three times further away = nine times less intense etc etc
Horticultural lights fitted with Super Spreader can operate two times closer
to the plant layer than is otherwise possible giving the grower four times
the light to spread around!! with four times the light being splashed around
how much light actually makes it to the plants?? good question, read on ....
ii) Reflection Theory
Reflected light incurs a loss in power, relative to the surface properties
of the reflector. Eg) Light striking a 90% reflective surface, immediately
loses 10% of its power. The angle of incidence (light striking a reflective
surface) is equal to the angle of reflection. The Super Spreader reflects
approximately 25% of the total light towards the grow room extremities which,
due to the angle of incidence, travels on average 1 & 1/2 times further
then the distance it would have travelled if emitted by a standard reflector.
