do you know how much light/spectrum is lost through that ducted hood?

 

[F.N.]

The lights I use are older and need to be cleaned quite often dust and fly's build up in my heatsinks. With this a quick rub down when a bit dirty and you keep right on going. I know you are not suppose to have flies and dust build up by I live in the country and it get dusty and fly's find there way in when it gets cold

speaking of spectrum what do they come in and where can i see a spectrum chart?

do you know how much light/spectrum is lost through that ducted hood?

With glass losses about 7%-10%
as @Fairlynew mentioned, losses increase if you have dust on glass.
LED light goes mostly down and you do not lose much in reflector. HID has light coming at all angles and loses 20% easily in reflector losses.

Hey @HLG1 and @HLG2, it was a learning experience for me today. Thanks for stopping by, and good luck with your newer models, your business is booming.
Cheers AFN, have a good afternoon.

Do you use a certain kind of pulsing red chip have you even heard of them?

 

[HLG1]

We offer HLG 550 in 3000K, great spectrum for full cycle, slightly more geared towards flowering.

We can make any of these spectrum. They are all available in QB series.
We recommend 2700K for only flowering, 4000K for veg, 5000K can be used for veg too
