Looking for Good Metal Halide Reflectors

If your going to mount a Lumenbright in a canopy, it better be a tall canopy they recommend something like 16" inches from the water., but they are are getting good reviews

I'd also check into the Lumenmax Elite, another good one and may be more suited to shorter canopies.

Yeah you know I was just looking at that. They are already quite "tall" too. I don't think they are even going to fit my canopy

I think the Lumenarc mini's are the only ones that will.

Denis I PM'd you about the LB3's but I have to figure out if they would even fit.

Anyone have any other ideas? What is a good low profile reflector?

pfo pendants, I was sold when I saw Denis's and those will definately be the next lights I put on. The clarity of the reflector, glass cover and sleek package make this a really affordable unit. Oh and the spread and intensity is great aswell.

Ok thanks. Those will actually fit too.

Ok so I found both the Lumenarcs and comparable Lumenbright reflectors I like but they will not work with my canopy. Not only do they just barely fit in but they would be just a few inches off the water surface. They are suppose to be like 12-16" off

So looks like I am stuck with U shaped reflectors for now. Or something low profile. Any ideas?

Anyone selling this type of reflectors? At this point, anything is better than what i am using now. They are really old and dull.

Thanks!

If your into diy you could try to make your own lumenarc and scale it down to what you need.

There are some really cool ideas here for sure.
