The Diamond reflector puts down more light than any other horizontal lamp reflector on the market - when compared to standard Dutch Barn type reflectors it can help to increase yields significantly. Designed in a photometric laboratory the spread of light from the lamp is scientifically optimized. You can visibly see the difference between the amount of usable light being reflected by the Diamond and that being put down by inferior reflectors, but the best way to see how good this reflector is to buy one and trial it along side another brand - you'll be pleasantly surprised at the results. The small version is suitable for both 250W and 400W sodium and halide lamps and measures 49cm x 55cm x 12cm. The larger version takes both 600W and 1000W sodium and halide lamps and measures 59cm x 66cm x 17cm. The complete system comes with Maxigrow Compact Ballast and branded lamp, see selection below for details. Please note that the 1000W ballast comes with an IEC connector that will need to be fitted to the reflector cable. Please note:- production of this reflector has recently moved from the UK to China - whilst the performance has remained exactly the same the build quality has dropped slightly. **Please retain original packaging for your lamps to validate the 12 month warranty**

Frequently asked questions |
| Q: Everybody says that this reflector can add between 20-50% to your yield, do you have any data to back this up? |
No. However we've been selling this reflector for over two years and the general feedback from customers is an increase in yield of between 10-30% when used side by side or instead of a budget open ended reflector. We feel that we have had enough positive feedback to now say that the manufacturers claims are in at least part way true. |

| Q: It looks weird, what's with the strange design? |
| The manufacturers (Eco-technics) took a selection of grow lamps to a photometric lab and said "Please design us a range of reflectors that optimizes the downward spread of light from these grow lamps". The lab came back with two different sizes as one size did not fit all lamp sizes, it's worth bearing that in mind when looking at reflectors that say they fit all lamp sizes. Basically, they designed a reflector that produces a much more even spread of light underneath the lamp - both heat and light follow the same pathways so if you spread one you automatically spread the other. This has two yield increasing benefits. Firstly, the amount of usable light the plants receive per square metre is increased as there is less of a drop off in light levels as you move away from the reflector. Secondly, because the heat has been spread out over a wider area you are able to get the reflector closer to the plants, which gives better penetration of light to the lower areas of plants, this seems to be where most of the extra yield increases come from. |

| Q: I have read that the Compact gets very hot when it's on, is it safe and why does this happen? |
| The Compact ballast from Maxigrow is by far the most reliable ballast on the market. In the 3 years we've been selling them we've only had a handful of returns. You may have noticed that we only sell two brands of lighting, Powerplant and Maxigrow, the reason we do this is that in our opinion these are currently the most reliable brands on the market. With regards to the heat question, the answer is that they designed to run hot, and are entirely safe. The internal workings of the ballast are potted in resin to eliminate operating noise (these ballasts are 100% silent in operation), the outer black casing material is widely used in the petroleum industry as a heat dissipation material; it pulls the heat away from the inner workings of the ballast and results in a long life ballast that will give you years of trouble free use. |
