ADJUST-A-WINGS SPREADER LARGE

Description

ADJUST-A-WINGS SPREADER LARGE is the large-format parabolic reflector insert from Adjust-A-Wings that works in conjunction with the Adjust-A-Wings deflector system to create a uniquely wide, even light distribution from a single HID lamp, enabling the kind of canopy coverage that normally requires multiple fixtures. We have been recommending Adjust-A-Wings reflectors to UK growers since 2017 as one of the most innovative and effective reflector systems available in the HID lighting market.

How the Adjust-A-Wings Spreader System Transforms HID Canopy Coverage

Standard parabolic and batwing HID reflectors distribute light in a fixed pattern determined by the reflector geometry — a central intensity peak that drops away toward the canopy edges, requiring careful lamp positioning and frequently creating intensity-uniformity compromises. The Adjust-A-Wings system takes a fundamentally different approach: a unique curved primary reflector combines with an adjustable-angle secondary spreader to create a distribution pattern that can be actively tuned to match the canopy dimensions and desired PPFD uniformity. The spreader’s angle adjustment controls the ratio of direct to spread light, allowing the grower to concentrate intensity for smaller canopies or spread it for larger footprints. The large spreader format is appropriate for high-wattage HPS and MH lamps operating over canopies up to 1.5m x 1.5m and beyond, delivering a more uniform PPFD distribution than conventional reflectors of comparable size.

Adjustment, Lamp Compatibility, and System Build

The Adjust-A-Wings Spreader Large is compatible with the Adjust-A-Wings Enforcer and Avenger reflector housings — confirm compatibility with your existing Adjust-A-Wings system before purchasing. Adjust the spreader angle by loosening the adjustment mechanism, setting to the desired position for your canopy dimensions, and locking in place. The optimal setting is best determined experimentally using a PAR meter or PPFD map — begin with the manufacturer’s recommended position for your canopy size and adjust based on measured uniformity. For growers already using Adjust-A-Wings reflectors who want to upgrade to the large spreader format for a wider canopy, this spreader is the direct path to improved coverage.
