Hamertone Reflector
The Hamertone Reflector is a compact 50x40cm open reflector with a hammered aluminium finish and E40 socket, compatible with CFL, HPS and MH lamps from 150W to 1000W. The hammertone surface texture scatters reflected light broadly and evenly across the grow footprint, reducing hotspots beneath the lamp — a finish preferred by growers who prioritise uniform light distribution over peak intensity. Supplied fully assembled with integrated hanging eyelets for Easy Rollers or chains. Remove the protective film before use. Fast delivery across Belgium from plantandflower.be.
Hamertone Reflector 50x40cm E40 — Diffuse Light Distribution for CFL, HPS and MH
Reflector choice involves a practical trade-off between light intensity and uniformity. The Hamertone Reflector resolves that trade-off in favour of even distribution: its aluminium surface features a hammered (stucco) texture that scatters reflected light in multiple directions simultaneously, producing a broad, uniform light footprint with reduced central hotspots. Browse the full reflector range to compare all available options.
Why some growers choose hammertone over mirror finish
A hammered surface creates micro-facets across the reflector face, each redirecting light at slightly different angles. The cumulative effect is a diffuse, wide-spreading light pattern that illuminates a larger canopy area more consistently than a specular mirror finish. This makes the Hamertone particularly well-suited to CFL setups, cloning stages, and vegetative phases where even light distribution matters more than peak PAR intensity. Growers who prefer a concentrated, high-intensity light pattern may find the Mirror Reflector — available in the same size — a better fit for their style.
Wide lamp compatibility and easy setup
The ceramic E40 socket supports a broad wattage range:
- CFL lamps up to 125W — suited to propagation, cloning and small grow spaces.
- HPS lamps from 150W to 1000W — the standard choice for flowering.
- MH lamps from 150W to 1000W — preferred for vegetative growth.
The reflector ships fully assembled with the E40 socket already fitted. Integrated hanging eyelets at the top fold up to accept Easy Rollers or chains for height-adjustable suspension — no tools needed. For a complete ready-to-run lighting setup, the 400W Superplant Sylvania Grolux lighting set pairs well with this reflector.
Installation notes
Remove the protective film from the reflector surface before first use — this step is frequently overlooked but essential for full reflective performance. When fitting HPS or MH lamps, handle the bulb with a cloth and avoid touching the glass with bare hands; finger oils on the lamp surface significantly reduce lamp lifespan and can cause uneven heating.
The Hamertone Reflector is stocked and ships fast to Belgian growers from plantandflower.be. A reliable, no-fuss open reflector for growers who want consistent light coverage without complexity.
What is the difference between the Hamertone and Mirror Reflector?
Both reflectors share the same dimensions (50x40cm) and E40 socket, but differ in surface finish. The hammertone finish produces diffuse, wide-spreading light with reduced central hotspots — ideal for uniform canopy coverage. The mirror finish reflects light in a more direct, concentrated beam, delivering higher peak intensity at the centre. The choice depends on whether you prioritise coverage uniformity or maximum PAR intensity.
Does the Hamertone Reflector work with CFL energy-saving bulbs?
Yes, the E40 socket accepts CFL lamps up to 125W. CFL bulbs with an integrated ballast require an IEC-to-mains adapter cable (sold separately) rather than a standard ballast connection. The diffuse hammertone finish is particularly well-matched to CFL grow setups where broad, even light distribution is more important than concentrated intensity.
Does the Hamertone Reflector 50x40cm require a ballast?
A separate ballast is required when using HPS or MH lamps — it is not included with the reflector. The reflector is supplied with an IEC connector for connection to a magnetic or electronic ballast. CFL lamps with a built-in ballast do not require an external ballast, but do require an IEC-to-mains adapter cable instead.
