You don't need that metal reflector if you use that bulb, dirtyvegas. That may trap heat around the ceramic base of the bulb, and overheat it. The bulb has an internal reflector that works perfectly.

I use the flood lamp. In three months, my "gallon bag" clump of chaeto has tripled in size! Nitrates always zero. Nuisance algae minimal. Great buy for the price.

Only problem I have is that damn bulb is so heavy, that it always falls and points straight down. Maybe I just need a new one or some duct tape.

I was looking at that bulb too, but the k rating is low if I remember. I'm using a screw type bulb like that, but not in it's own reflector. It's 27 watts and produces 100 watts of light with a K rating of 5500k.....works great and bright. I even keep SPS frags up high under them.
