If you are not having any heating issues I would take it off.So I have a Sun Systems 2 and currently it has the glass insert installed. Any pros/cons besides protecting my plans if the bulb explodes? Should I take it off for any reason?
If your not going to use the reflector for what it was designed for, it makes no diffrence if the glass is on or off.So I have a Sun Systems 2 and currently it has the glass insert installed. Any pros/cons besides protecting my plans if the bulb explodes? Should I take it off for any reason?
I guess you should make your posts a little more specific. But yes, that reflector was designed with sealed glass and air cooled fittings for a specific purpose. not only to shine light downwards.What do you mean what the reflector was designed for? It's for shining light downwards and that's what its doing. I have exhaust and it keeps the canopy below 75 right now. And why would I want it inches from the top? There is such a thing as "light burn".
I'm looking for any negatives to having the glass on such as, light penetrating it, etc. Temp is not an issue.
