Hey guys, im looking to buy a hood that can mount the bulb vertically.
I have only ever bought all my gear from HTG Supply but they dont have any hoods like i want.

Can you recommend a trustworthy site that is discrete with packages preferably all brown box.


Thanks

IF I WERE U AND I WANTED TO HANG MY LIGHT VERTICALLY I WOUDNT EVEN BOTHER USING A HOOD.JUST HANG THE BULBS BARE.U WOULD GET A BETTER YEILD,LOWER TEMPS, AND SAVE ON THE PRICE OF THE HOOD.SO ITS A WIN! WIN! WIN! SITUATION.UNLESS U WANT A SMALLER YEILD,HIGHER TEMPS, AND WANT TO WASTE MONEY ON SOMETHING U DONT EVEN NEED.JUST CHECK OUT THE VERTICLE FORUMS THEY HAVE PLENTY OF INFO AN GOING VERTICAL.AFTER I DIAL IN MY NEW ROOM IM GOING VERTICAL TOO USING BUTT-NAKED BULBS.

Lamps throw light to the sides, very little aft and a shadow forward. Because of this a vertical, parabolic hood delivers nothing but reflected light. A horizontal reflector delivers 25% direct light and 75% reflected light; Much more efficient.

Typically, vertical lighting is unreflected with plants surrounding the lamp, all getting direct light.
