New reflector yea

[D3]

I just got my new reflector "The sun systems Magnum XXXL" it's a completely sealed air cooled unit. It's a monster. 32 1/2"x 26 1/2"x 8" L x W x H. This Thing I should help some:banana: :clap:

Easy man. I have 6 of them and put up or take down in minutes. Just make sure you have a clean, easy, exit path. Have a soft blanket to lay them down on. You have to take them down each cycle and clean the glass or should. Also rope ratchets are a must with these nice hoods. Up or down with a click.

Cleaning the glass should be easy the glass swings down. I also did get the the rope ratchet. These Things are preTTy heavy I ThoughT I'd beTTer go ahead and geT ThaT new hanging sysTem To make sure can supporT iT. I use the agrsun gold 1000w. My old reflector was only 21 by 21. It seem to focus most of the brIght lIght almost rIght down. This reflecTor should spread ThaT ouT preTTy good

Nice snag

I have a nice big reflector like that for my 1000W. I just love it.

Oh yeah those are nice, and they really open up the light footprint. I went with the cooltubes over the hoods because the hoods have to small of a light footprint, but the new monster hoods correct that issue. I have also found that (at least in the "grow-lab") the giant hoods run cooler than the cooltubes. I have one that has a 1kw HPS and it runs cooler than the 600w in the cooltubes.

Just mounted it. now I need to connect the duct work then I'll get some pics for you. By the way I love that new ratchet rope system. Sure beatS the hell out of the chainS

 

[nouvellechef]

Put R6 or R8(better) insulated duct around the ducting. You will thank me later. Worth the little $ extra.

JMO, nothing beats chains.

Isn't the r6 and the r8 pretty rIgId. I use a light rail so i can you something real rigid. I always just use the regular roll dryer vent hose the plastic 1. AlwAys worked reAl good for me

 

[nouvellechef]

R6 and R8 are the insulation thickness. It wraps around rigid or flex duct. It silences the air flow by 40% or so, seals up any pin hole light leaks and helps seal in any airflow/smell leakage.

I use 2 of those Magnum hoods and be forewarned that they leak air around the glass. If smell is a concern then you'll need to tape up the seams around the glass.

That is what I use:aok:

Really deadens the sound of air rushing through the duct work, plus helps cool the room

My SIL used to be an HVAC guy. I always used that flexible insulated stuff. My fan is in my crawl space under my bedroom and you absolutely cannot hear anything.
