Bummer...... Heat is nothing to fool around with... Do you have any fans?
The Nova Extreme Pro with the SLRs is an entry level light in my eyes... Ok its a step up from entry level. It beats a single parabolic reflector no...

The difference in PAR between the two ATI bulbs in question isn't all that much, I wanna say its only like 25uMol/m2/sec or something, not huge like...
As far as the reflectors go, James Fatherree did a study comparing PAR output between no reflector, single and SLRs and of course the SLRs crushed......
Giesemann makes a nice TRUE actinic.... As far as PAR is concerned UVL nor Giesemann beat ATI.... ATI's spectrum is fairly similar to the...
