Reflectors for VERO29-SE Cobs

I was wondering if anyone knows of reflectors available for Vero29-SE cobs.
So far I have only seen the Stella lens from Ledil and heard mixed reviews.

Are there any that would be worth checking out? Right now I have bare cobs throwing light all around my tent and results have been great but I'm curious about the effects of adding reflectors.

Hi! Adding reflector will increase the penetration! If you have 1 COB every ft2 you should use some! I think you need COB holder to add reflector...lens loose 10% light so reflector should be better!
What kind of COB do you have?
Have a lifted one

When I built my Vero arrays, I used the Ledil adapters using slightly longer screws to secure the cob/holder to the heatsink. What I found was that while the Angelina reflectors did focus the light well, it did create some serious 'hotspots' where the intensity was to much at the canopy but lacking on the plants perimeter. I removed all of the reflectors and got much better uniformity across the canopy. You'll have to see how they work in your space but I get better coverage without them .

Use quantum boards or strips …..more even lite

COBs give you more even light than boards. At least when you use more than 1 COB per 2x2 which is typical for a QB. While 4 COBs per 2x2 is more typical with COBs (or one COB per sqft).

Agreed that strips are best for uniformity.
