[MrStickyScissors]

I cant find the answer anywhere online. Was hoping someone on here had one and could measure it

 

[woody333333]

Did you edit that or am I retarded?....... It's super thin...... Maybe an eighth of an inch.....

 

[Velvet Elvis]

it is eighth of an inch just had one cut for my broken one.

What are the deminsions ont hat glass?

 

[woody333333]

What's the story w low iron glass?

 

[MrStickyScissors]

What's the story w low iron glass?

its invisible. Way more light goes thru. Cant even tell the hood has a lenz

 

[woody333333]

Oh.... Science stuff................... I don't see a big difference w or without the glass anyhow

big difference.IF you air cool the hoods you can keep the light a foot closer. And with thats glass its like having a bare bulb that close

I suppose w one plant per light....... Otherwise they gotta be off the canopy to spread the light ..... And the distance is about the same w or without the glass....... If you're using a magnum youre planning on covering some space

4x5

 

[woody333333]

4x5

Perfect fit ...... But at six inches its only gonna cover half...... Youre gonna be at a eighteen inches...... The glass can't be that much more clear.... Really seems like a gimmick

 

[MrStickyScissors]

The glass is invisble

 

[MrStickyScissors]

Look into. Its pretty interesting

 

[woody333333]

OK.... Done.....lol....... Looks nice for fish tanks

Is it safe for the heat?

Measured the foot candle loss (intensity) with glass in a reflector compared to no glass.

Measured directly below the bulb (1K hps hortilux) without glass 18" is 10,000 foot candles (fc) which is the maximum sunlight intensity in my hood.

With the glass 16" is 10,000 fc.

Sooooo, is it worth doing?

A~~~
