Eggcrate question

[canadawest]

Troy, just wondering which eggcrate you are referring to? The plain old white stuff that most people use for frag shelves, or the polished aluminum type that sits under flourescents in offices?

It's my understanding that the polished aluminum type actually do help disperse the light evenly from flourescent tubes, with little to no reduction in light output. And what with Dana Riddle said, they might even help by focusing the light from point sources like MH and increase the intensity?

But the plain white stuff, cant imagine how it wouldn't do anything but block some of the light, and being plastic, would likely melt or sag pretty easily, especially if close enough to a MH lamp.

But then again, what do I know? I'm Mr no Halides yet! [img]smile.gif[/img]
