Some quick stats on my light im building
_________________________
9x Vero 29 Gen 7 3500k 80 CRI COBs driven at 2100mah 38.7v 79W x 9 = 711W
48" x 48" = 1.49 m²
711W @ 49% efficiency = 348.39 PAR watts
348.39 PAR W x 4.75µmols = 1654.85PPF
Accounting for 10% reflection losses = 1489.37 PPF
1489.37 PPF / 1.49 m² = 999.5 PPFD
Plan on driving with 2x Mean Well HLG-320H-C2100B drivers, and I will use ample pin heatsinks for cooling and the rapidled 4x4 canopy substrate.

My question i am having right now is if I should use Angelina 90 degree reflectors or not.
I was thinking either running the light at 12"-14" height with no reflectors to allow a lot of light diffusion off the sides of my 4x4 tent so I can get the most even light possible, or I could run it at 18"-24" height using the angelina 90 degree reflectors and run it like that instead.
Which would you guys pick? I am leaning for the 12" height with no reflectors rn.
