For all CFL growers: Original lighting reflector experiment, make sure youve got one

All the time I see grows with many many bulbs but no reflectors. If light is important to you (as it should be) then why not optimize the lights you have before adding new ones?
I did some Lux measurements of a 11W warm CFL and 23W cool, with and without a simple can reflector that I made in under 2 min. The results:



Theres 100-almost 300% increase in light towards the target point (plant canopy). So whoever doesnt have a reflector yet, get one!

good post its even easy to use some aluminum foil and do the same but its def worth it

Might have to do an aluminum foil test next
