configurations. Either the lamps are held
vertically or horizontally.
Horizontally held lamps direct most of
the light downward because the light is
emitted along the length of the lamp. Only a
small reflector is required to beam the rest
of the light downward.
Vertical lights emit most of their light
horizontally. In order to reach a garden, the
light must be reflected downward using a
large, bulky reflector. Manufacturers have
developed elaborate and innovative hoods,
still they cannot reach the light delivery
efficiency of a horizontal lamp.
Horizontally held lamps have several
other advantages over verticals. They take
less vertical space, which is crucial for short
gardens, and the reflectors are much less
bulky. All in all, horizontally held lamps are
considered the best configuration for the
closet garden.
Aluminum reflectors deliver the most
light, more than white ones. Stainless steel
reflectors absorb some spectrums of light
and should not be used.
