Unhappy spiderlight reflectors are huge.!!

i got two today for my new tank and wow those suckers are huge. it wouldnt even fit on my hood by itself, much less any lights around it. i had to trim off an inch and a half just to get it to fit on my canopy.........

fwiw they are worth it. A good reflector can increase your lighting 50-75% with halides

i know. my only gripe is why make a reflector that cant fit under a hood. i mean this isnt a tiny tank or somthing.. i just hate cutting things.

it wasnt wide enough for the reflectors because they built a back brace on the rear of the canopy that took up like 3 inches.
