Lighting what will work better?

[roncgizmo]

Do you think it matters much how I arrange the lights under the canopy?

I have 2 22" 55w pc's 50'50+03 and a 10k and 1 MH 14k 175w

front, back, side to side up my...whatever. The easy thing to do is put 2 into 1 but will it work just as good as a separate reflector for each?

Unless you bend very good reflectors, or reversely very bad ones, either way your design has very little difference.

Thanks that's good to know...If I did 3 reflectors I would need to bend in the ones with the pc's (just a little)

Oh. Also! Will it benefit me to paint the inside gloss white for the lighting?
or just use a clear sealer?

The difference is small because your reflector is going to cover most of the wasted light. Then if there is a choice of zealant, go for the gloss instead. If you really have to go extreme then paint the inside white instead of keeping the wood color. Dark color absorbs light while lite color reflects light.

Thank you.
