Lumatek Tekken Pro Hammertone Reflector – Professional DE Lighting

The Lumatek Tekken Pro Hammertone Reflector is the definitive piece of gear for growers who demand professional-grade light distribution without the headache of inefficient setups. Designed specifically for Double Ended (DE) lamps, this reflector utilizes 99.9% pure MIRO aluminum to deliver a staggering 92% reflectivity, ensuring that every watt of electricity you pay for is converted into usable energy for your plants.

Do you feel like your grow room is becoming a maze of cables, cool tubes, and auxiliary lights just to get decent coverage?

It’s a common nightmare. You try to fix poor light penetration by adding more gear, but you end up with a chaotic space, unmanageable heat, and the dreaded "hotspots" that burn your top colas while the lower branches produce airy "popcorn" buds. Instead of a streamlined operation, you have a high-maintenance setup that drains your wallet and your patience, leaving you with a harvest that doesn't reflect your hard work.

The Lumatek Tekken Pro is the solution that allows you to strip away the excess and focus on performance. By pairing this reflector with a high-quality DE bulb, you get a massive, uniform footprint of intense light that penetrates deep into the canopy, eliminating the need for supplemental side lighting and simplifying your entire ventilation strategy thanks to its open, heat-dissipating design.

Less clutter, more functionality

This reflector is a masterclass in efficiency. Instead of relying on complex air-cooled hoods that trap dust and reduce lumens through glass, the Tekken Pro uses open-air physics and superior materials to do the job better. Its hammertone texture isn't just for looks; it scatters light rays in multiple directions, creating a diffuse yet powerful field of light.

This means you can cover a substantial 1.5 x 1.5m area with a single unit. Whether you are running a 630W CMH or a powerful 1000W HPS, the Tekken Pro handles the output effortlessly. It replaces the need for multiple lower-wattage fixtures, allowing you to run a cleaner, more professional grow room with fewer cables and less equipment to monitor.

What you can simplify once you have it

Once you install the Tekken Pro, you'll notice that your daily routine gets a lot less complicated. You stop fighting against your equipment and start working with it.

• Stop constantly adjusting height: The superior spread means you can keep the light at a fixed, safe distance without losing intensity at the edges.
• Forget about glass cleaning: Unlike cool tubes, there is no glass barrier to accumulate dust and block UV rays.
• Simplify your Climate Control: The open design allows heat to rise naturally to your extraction system rather than getting trapped near the bulb.
• Eliminate rotators: You won't need light movers to prevent burns; the hammertone finish does the distribution work for you.

How to build a more minimalist set-up with this product

1. Assess your space: Ensure you have at least a 1.2m x 1.2m or 1.5m x 1.5m area to fully utilize the footprint.
2. Choose your engine: Select a high-quality Double Ended (DE) bulb (630W CMH or 1000W HPS) that matches your ballast.
3. Center the Tekken: Hang the reflector exactly in the middle of your grow tent or room.
4. Clear the clutter: Remove any supplemental side lights or old reflectors that were compensating for poor coverage.
5. Dial in the height: Start higher than usual; the intensity of DE bulbs combined with this reflector is powerful.

Advantages and benefits of a simpler kit

• 92% Reflectivity: More light reaches your plants, meaning heavier yields per watt.
• No Hotspots: The textured surface spreads light evenly, protecting your canopy from heat stress.
• Deep Penetration: Light reaches the lower branches, turning potential popcorn buds into solid flowers.
• Durability: Made from high-grade aluminum, it resists oxidation and maintains performance over time.
• Versatility: Compatible with the most powerful Grow lights on the market (DE systems).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use standard E40 screw-in bulbs with this reflector?

No, the Lumatek Tekken Pro is designed exclusively for Double Ended (DE) bulbs (K12x30s sockets). These bulbs are more efficient and offer a better spectrum than traditional single-ended lamps.

Does it come with cables?

Yes, it typically includes the necessary cabling to connect to a remote ballast. Always check the specific product contents upon arrival, but Lumatek is known for providing plug-and-play solutions.

How does it handle heat compared to a cool tube?

While it doesn't have active air cooling through the reflector, its open design prevents heat buildup around the lamp. This extends lamp life and, when combined with good room ventilation, is often more efficient than air-cooled hoods which can block up to 10% of light.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I remember when I made the switch to Double Ended systems. I was skeptical about ditching my air-cooled hoods because I was terrified of heat issues. But once I hung the Tekken Pro, the difference in plant structure was immediate. The light spread is so uniform that the plants in the corners started keeping up with the ones in the center.

My advice? Don't skimp on the reflector. You can have the best ballast and bulb in the world, but if your reflector is trapping light or creating hotspots, you're wasting money. The Tekken Pro is a "set it and forget it" piece of gear that just works. It keeps my setup clean, my yields high, and my maintenance low.
