Lumii Cooltube Reflector is an air-tight, fully sealed clear glass tube with a lamp mounting bracket in its center. Lumii Cooltube Reflector is perfect for removing the excess heat generated by HID grow lights without leaking unwanted odors.
Cooltubes were one of the first air cooled reflectors to become available and all these years later they are still a firm favorite with many growers. Effectively a 150mm inline glass tube allows you to blow or extract air through the reflector and over your lamp, thus taking the heat away before it can raise the temperature in your grow room. An additional clip on the reflector is also supplied with the Aerotube which improves your spread of light and reduces any light wastage.
Multiple Aerotubes can be mounted in series along the same length of 150mm Flexible Aluminium Ducting.
Suitable for 250w, 400w and 600w HID lamps
Size: 150mm or 6″ Flange
Length: 50cm
How the LUMii Aerotube Reflector Works:
Cooltube reflectors have long been a favourite of growers, and for good reason: they reduce the risk of heat damage caused by high intensity discharge lighting. This reflector is beneficial in keeping your temperature at a constant level, and stops extreme heat from destroying all your hard work. They remove 90% of the heat from your chosen lamp and increase maximum rated lumen delivery.
The Aerotube reflector is air-tight, with a fully sealed glass tube for your lamp to be mounted in. The external 2-part reflector is clipped on to the top of the cool tube, and is easily assembled.
How to Use the LUMii Aerotube Reflector:
The LUMii Aerotube Reflector comes with detailed instructions within the packaging that will show you how to effectively assemble the reflector. It should be used alongside an inline fan and flexible aluminium ducting (sold separately), to allow air to flow through the tube.
It must be positioned at least 25cm above your canopy in order for it to achieve its optimal results and stop heat scorching. The extra heat is sucked up before it has a chance to affect the temperature of your grow room, and the glass tube allows you to extract air over your lamp.
The Cooltube Reflector is an air-tight, fully sealed clear glass tube with a lamp mounting bracket in its center on the one end. Cooltube Reflectors are perfect for removing the excess heat generated by HPS or Metal Halide grow lights.
PLEASE NOTE: NEW Cooltubes now have detachable side wings instead of being permanently attached on hinges that flip the wings up or down. (See photos on the left)

Clamps are a simple solution for connecting ducting to Inline Fans, Carbon Filter, Ducting Splitters or Air Cooled Reflectors. Fitted with a worm screw, tighten with a screw driver in a few seconds. Clamps provide a secure connection, ensuring your extraction system remains securely connected.
The Clamps are made from strong, Stainless Steel They are super easy to install and will last you for many grows to come. To install a clamp, you simple screw it open wide enough to fit over the end of your ducting, slip your ducting over the Fan/Reflector/Carbon Filter’s flange and screw it closed to ensure your ducting is fastened on tightly.
Available in a few different sizes to suit all ducting sizes. They are an efficient, cost effective method of joining ventilation equipment.
PLEASE NOTE: 14-32mm Clamps are Stainless Steel, for use under water.
Clamps are an adjustable steel band that the user tightens with a screw. Most people generally know this kind of fitting as a Jubilee Clip which is often in the plumbers tool box. The premise is the same just on a bigger scale to suit ducting, not water pipes. The worm gear that adjusts the tightness allows a secure connection between ducting and fan or filter.
Many growers use ducting clamps in combination with Aluminium tape. This makes an even stronger join with advantages of both. The tape has a bigger surface area for joining and can go round and round as many times as you want. It can degrade after a while though so the Ducting Clamp will increase holding power of the join.
The light produced by Fluorescent CFL – 6400k Grow Lights tends to be softer and less damaging to tender young plants. For this reason, the fluorescent grow light is popular for seedlings and cuttings, an excellent way to establish young plants. The Fluorescent CFL – 6400k are especially good for shelf gardening because their low heat allows you to place lights on shelves that are stacked on top of each other. Smaller plants and seedlings can thrive in a well-designed indoor garden lit with fluorescent grow lights.
6500k is used for germinating, seedlings, cuttings and Veg Stage.
When plants are young, high pressure lighting can be too intense, causing them stress and negatively affecting growth. Instead, cuttings and seedlings can be placed under fluorescent lighting until they are ready to move on into the vegetative stage.
Compact fluorescent (CFL) lamps provide a more intense light for small spaces by effectively coiling several long tubes into a compact form.
During propagation, lights should be kept on for 18 hours a day, although many growers find that quicker growth is achieved by keeping them on constantly, without a night period at all.
Because of their low running temperature they are ideal for growing in small spaces and their low power usage keeps costs low for the small scale grower. They are an excellent option during the vegetative stage because they can be placed much closer to the plant’s foliage, which tends to encourage the plant to remain short and bushy; favorable characteristics to look for when growing indoors.

Garden HighPro LumaxPro HPS Lamps feature an optimized spectrum for photosynthesis. For use with magnetic and digital/electronic ballastsand any type of reflector or cooling hood with an E40 lamp holder.
Proper lighting is a key ingredient in promoting robust, healthy growth as well as meeting the needs of various plant growth phases through optimized spectral outputs. Specifically tailored for the hydroponic and horticultural industries.
HPS bulbs are the most efficient bulbs that are commonly used by the hobby gardener. They are high in the red and yellow parts of the spectrum and low in the blue, this imitates the fall sun. Because of this spectrum some plants that are grown with HPS lights only can grow elongated and rather leggy, while many other plants are not effected by the light spectrum. For plants that normally bud and flower in the fall this is usually the light of choice because the light spectrum promotes flower production.
HPS bulbs are made out of a translucent ceramic arc tube containing a mixture of sodium, mercury and xenon gas. This arc tube is suspended in a outer glass shield (bulb). HPS bulbs range in power from 35w to 1000w, with the 250w, 400w, 600w and 1000w being the most popular for indoor horticulture.
HPS bulbs should be changed out after about 24 months. The bulbs slowly lose their brightness over time and to maintain good light quality the bulbs must be changed before the end of their rated life.
Garden HighPro LumaxPro HPS Lamps offer a great light spectrum at an affordable price!
The Garden HighPro MediPro Plant Guardian is here to save your plant tops from the intense heat emitted by hot HPSlamps!
The Medipro marks off the required distance between your plants and lamp, with each stick in the modular system measuring 10cm (with 5 sticks in the set). Fit the heat resistant clip over the E40 light fitting of your reflector, with the right number of measuring sticks screwed onto it. Now you will reduce the risk of having your light fixture too close to your plants. A mini thermo hygrometer is also included and can be attached at the other end of the Garden HighPro MediPro to indicate temperature and humidity in the area of the leaf-tops.
