new reflectors, where to buy?

Have 2 MH 250w retrofits and I need new reflectors for them.

Anyone know where then can be ordered? Could a local LFS order for me as I would prefer to buy local.

What kind of reflectors do you want? Single End or Double End bulbs? Space constraints?

As for a LFS, good luck. It really depends on what you have available to you locally.

Personally, we run Luminarc reflectors with 250W SE bulbs.

The current reflectors are about 16" long in a big hood, so no size constraints. The bulbs are mogul type. How large are the Luminarc reflectors and about what cost?

Pacific Garden has the best reflectors! Don't settle for those cheap SLS knockoffs.
