HQI Reflector Question

[GrampaDon]

First my budget is lower than some. So I cant afford 150$ reflectors. [But I wish I could]

Any body use these reflectors.??http://www.aquacave.com/150w-metal-halide-hqibr-parabolic-reflector-with-lens-1536.html This is going into a retro canopy.

Are they any good.?

I nevr have,but I wa thinking of buying them myself. I want to try to put them in my fixture because the reflectors I have are not that good, and those look close to the size I need. If you do get them, could you send me the exact dimensions? And maybe a few pictures?

I use those and enjoy them. They get extremely hot to the touch though. Whatever you do make sure you get a shielded reflector for the UV rays.

By the way they measure 11"x6"x3"tall

Thank you.

The ad says it comes with the UV glass. I'm guessing the heat is from no buffer zone around the light fixture.

Would you say the light spread is wide ,or kinda narrow.??

Could you post some pics showing the light spread please?
