Dear Sanjay,
I am considering to add another bulb into a Lumenarc
III by cutting in a square hole and adding a bulb holder.
The new bulb will be directly opposite direction to
the present bulb. I am running at present a 400W
20,000K, I need more spectrum balance and intensity,
hence considering adding another 10,000K 400W.
My question is: would having 2 bulbs actually reduce
the total effectiveness of the reflector due to each
bulb shading off the other bulb? If the new total
reflectance is not a sequential sum 100% + 100% I do
not mind, but if the total improvement is drastically
low I won't proceed.
Thanks in advance
