Hi Folks!
Can someone (or a few folks) who actually own/use a SunBlaster T5 fixture with (integral) reflector tell me if the reflecting surface is white or mirrored?
Photos on the web are confusing :? ; in some the reflector appears mirrored, while in others it appears white.
Believe it or don't, it actually makes a difference; mirrored surfaces reflect UV-B better than white surfaces, and white can affect the wavelength of the reflected light.
Google: mirrored vs white reflector for explanations.
Reptisun reflectors are mirrored. I'm guessing that if SunBlasters are white, one reason may be that SunBlaster fixtures are designed/intended as grow lights for plants, while Reptisun are designed/intended specifically for reptiles.
Thanks.
