Bridgelux - Ledil reflectors compared

[blasterman]

Here's some comparison shots I made last night with the full series of 4 reflectors Ledil makes for Bridgelux Rectangles. More commonly called the 'Brooke' series. I shot them all on manual at the same settings on my dSLR using a 950b Bridgelux as a reference. The metal ruler is 18.25 inches in width. I'm exactly 24" from the wall to the LED die. From top to bottom:

 

No Reflector

Brooke - W

Brooke - M

Brooke - S

Barbara - S

 

Oddly there's very little difference between the Brooke-M and Brooke-S. The Barbara-S is tough to photograph because it concentrates much more light to a smaller cone. It's a much larger / longer reflector so it's able to corral far more spill into a tighter package. A cool reflector for specialty lighting apps, but not much use for reefing. I had one and just wanted to include it.

Brook S looks nice. And the Barbara could be used for deep tanks, right?

Looks like even the wide Brooke will punch very deep while keeping good coverage.
