This is only my 2 cents... The reason to have a reflector is to reflect as much light from the bulb in order to achieve maximun light reflected toward the surface of the water rather than light refleced from another source such as your canopy.ect... A good reflector is the key to all lighting. My personal opinon is to buy a spyder reflector I cant explain to you how much of a differance it made from my old DIY reflector to a spyder.
