Sun King Parabolic Reflector

The SunKing Parabolic is a curved reflector that houses your choice of HID lamp via its supplied E40 lamp holder. What marks out the SunKing from cheap alternatives on the market is the high-quality feel of its components – the SunKing is engineered from materials that won’t degrade quickly (reducing efficiency) like those of its competitors, delivering excellent results consistently over long periods of time. Unlike most other reflectors, the lamp in this unit is mounted vertically and the majority of its output is directed sideways towards curved surfaces and reflected back down towards the canopy. This method creates a more uniform spread of light than when using horizontally mounted lamps. Naturally, an even light spread leads to a more even canopy, adding consistency when growing larger numbers of plants in a given area. These effects are all enhanced greatly by the SunKing’s ‘hammer-tone’ finish, which helps eliminate hot-spots, an issue that occurs when light is too highly concentrated in a particular area.

It also features vents around the lamp holder to allow heat to escape through the top of the reflector. This, combined with the reflector’s open design, means that temperatures directly under the lamp are much lower than those under other reflectors, meaning that the SunKing can be positioned closer to the top of plants without causing burning. The SunKing is supplied with a 375cm power cable with an IEC (kettle lead) connection. The IEC adapter is used to connect to a ballast of a suitable output for the lamp fitted to the reflector.
