The reflectors in Tek lights aren't individual - they're a sheet of aluminum bent to form individual-like reflectors.

And I think what Powertec was asking is if the sheet of reflectors could be removed and the fixture retrofitted with higher quality individual clip-on reflectors like those made by IC or the smaller Aquactinics ones. I don't know how feasible it would be to fit another brand of reflector in a Tek light because each bent reflector is quite narrow compared to the individual reflectors sold by IC, Aquactinics, etc. Also, I don't know how much space there is above the lamps in the Tek light and the depth of various retrofit individual reflectors might be greater than that of those in the Tek fixtures.
