T5's and Parabolic Reflectors

[mykpoz]

I was having a discussion with a local reefer, and the topic of parabolic reflectors helping to increase the output of the light over a standard flat reflector came up. I remember seeing a report with math and diagrams supporting this.

Does anyone have a link to this? I have not been able to find it on the search feature, nor have I been successful via the web.

Thanks in advance,

I think austinsdad has the "white papers" on them, or you might want to PM him to see. I saw it in a post and read the paper. I love mine.

I just found the thread and it was austinsdad
