    DIY COB reflectors

    do you got umol comp on just straight cob vs diffused vs lens? I do understand how diffusion causes more of a glow and less of a direct beam( eg cause more sureface area at less lumens? or just straight more even distribution? I have difusers on my led gloves lol.they also take away alot from...

    this sounds like the barebuild verticle grow vs. hood growing debate lol. ps i Just took the glass off my mars 2, it is brighter. Glass is def not a lens lol. I dont agree w the whole diffuser situation. I think it inversely, Diffused tarp over greenhouses prevent rays or gasses from escaping...

    DIY COB reflectors

    I got bored so this is an example of how reflectors help. Now its terable, but funny lol. As you see the red lines are without reflector. The distance is so much farther. meaning depreciation in lumens.

Ill use the two posited situations to find when lenses and reflectors are most relevant. Keep in mind most led start with a...
