Hellolights HQI reflectors?

[bigbus]

I am considering getting 2 hqi reflectors from hellolights. My tank is 60" long and I am thinking putting 2 x 250 watts in.

Since my tank has a middle brace, I will have 2 evenly spaced so the lights arent over the middle. Anybody with these reflectors have some input? I am wondering if these reflectors would give a pretty even light spread. My canopy is kind of short though so that may be a factor. The lights will be sitting about 7" from water. Maybe the SE reflectors will have a better spread?

if you're talking the $30 ones they offer, i have them they are fine. lightweight, good UV glass.

but i want lumenbrights mounted 16" above the water, primarily for temperature control.

mine are around 5-6" from the water now, the bulbs are near the end of their lives. they start off around 9" above the water and make their way lower over time.

I have them and they work fine. The only issue is the light clamps themselves. The reflectors are fine. I had to replace both sets of clamps (HL sent them free of charge) since they both had issues holding the HQI bulbs in place. I don't understand why they just don't build them with those socket clamps in the beginning. My tank is only 3 feet long so light spread is not an issue.
