I will get some pics, but for now it it these, but without the reflector installed.
I am still trying to figure out what is the nature of lens vs reflector. The lends gets super hot and it has to be perfectly straight or else a lot of light skims off the lens and shoots out side ways. Even with it is straight on a lot of light escapes. But despite that, the numbers on the board look good at the 18" distance.
the cheap chinese multichip units are using some wide reflectors which may be suitable if you can adapt them from a square multichip to a round cob. I have a bunch of failed chinese units that I'm upgrading with the vero18s so I have some to play with. Not sure how to get them directly.Nogod, in my case the reflector wing is exactly what I have in mind, because I am running them close enough to canopy a reflector may actually interfere unless it was short. I will try "wings" vs short reflectors and see what gets more light to the canopy. But for those running COBs at (40W) or higher, I am convinced that they "need" a reflector and 5 minutes with a soda bottle and a can of spray paint could be a bridge until we figure out a more aesthetic solution.
Rather take the losses at the reflector than a secondary lens in most cases imo.
It was a substantial heat increase on the alta cob & heatsink with the lens ON.......their is no advantage(s) if you end up with a thermal runway/fried egg.
Could someone please post a link to the plug used on this panel. The help is much appreciated.Note to self for later, maybe they are using the LPF-90-42 for the Vero 29s, claims 2.15 A output.

I'm looking at the 120 for my 2x2x4 tent. I have also been considering advanced led's p300, but i cant find actual cannabis grow examples so i can compare. Any info would be awesome. Thanks all
