LUMii Euro Double Ended Reflector - Even Coverage for 1000W DE Lamps
Best for: growers running a 1000W double-ended HPS or CMH lamp who want even light spread across a 1.5m x 1.5m footprint without paying for a premium wing reflector.
Our thoughts
Worth flagging: this is a reflector, not an LED light, and it doesn't come with a lamp or ballast, it's the hood that goes around your 1000W DE bulb. Once you've got that clear, it's a solid, no-nonsense way to spread light evenly over a decent-sized footprint without spending Adjust-a-Wings money.
The LUMii Euro Double Ended Reflector is a passive reflector hood built specifically for 1000W double-ended (DE) HPS and CMH lamps. It's not a light fixture in itself; the lamp and ballast are separate, and this hood sits around the bulb to direct and spread its output. The interior surface is a highly reflective, dimpled aluminium finish, which scatters light more evenly across the canopy than a smooth surface, reducing the hot spots you get directly under the bulb.
It's designed to cover roughly a 1.5m x 1.5m area, which lines up with a typical 1.2m or 1.5m tent footprint running a single 1000W DE lamp. The double-ended lamp format itself runs current from both ends of the bulb rather than one, which generally gives a more even light output along the length of the tube compared to single-ended lamps of the same wattage.
How it compares
DE reflectors range from budget dimpled-aluminium hoods to premium adjustable-wing designs.
- Adjust-a-Wings Defender reflectors use an adjustable wing design that can increase usable growing area significantly and improve heat management, but cost considerably more.
- Gavita's integrated DE fixtures build the reflector, lamp holder and driver into one unit, which is convenient but a bigger upfront spend than buying a separate reflector and lamp.
- Single-ended reflectors are cheaper but physically won't fit a double-ended lamp, so they're not an option if you're already running DE.
For a straightforward, budget dimpled hood that spreads light evenly over a standard tent footprint, this covers the job without the wing-reflector price tag.
Usage guidance
Set-up is straightforward but a few things matter for even coverage.
Mounting
Hang using rope ratchets or a light-mover rail so you can raise or lower the reflector as the canopy grows, keeping it at the manufacturer-recommended distance for your lamp wattage.
Lamp compatibility
Built for 1000W double-ended HPS or CMH lamps only; it won't fit single-ended bulbs.
Coverage
Position centrally over a 1.5m x 1.5m area for the most even spread; plants at the very edge of a larger footprint will get less intensity.
Cleaning
Wipe the dimpled aluminium interior periodically, dust and residue on the reflective surface reduce output over time.

Who this is for
- Growers running a 1000W DE HPS or CMH lamp who need a reflector to complete the setup
- Anyone with a 1.2m to 1.5m tent footprint wanting even canopy coverage
- Budget-conscious growers who don't need an adjustable-wing reflector's extra footprint
- Growers upgrading from single-ended to double-ended lighting
Our take
Just make sure you know what you're buying: this is the reflector hood for a 1000W DE lamp, not a complete light or an LED fixture. Once that's clear, it's a sensible, evenly-spreading option for anyone running DE HPS or CMH without going premium.
Proper kit at a price that makes sense if you've already got the lamp and ballast sorted and just need the hood.
