if you can control your heat a 400w hps would do wonders in that space and it covers a foot print of about 3x3. i have a 400w hps in a cab 20.5 D x 47.75 W x 60.5 from floor to bottom of light. i live in the desert mohave to be excat i run my lighting at night my temps are 71-72 @ lights on 78-79 @ lights off 
i use a modded stanly blower fan to exhaust my cab and it works peachy

Nice runnings... it's thrilling time everytime grow is expanded! 
Take care, TH

You may be able to modify the one you already have. Maybe try cutting the four corners of the reflector and bend each side so that it appears more flat than square. Sometime this shape is called a bat wing reflector (no joke intended). Here's a picture: http://cgi.ebay.com/Batwing-Reflect...categoryZ43555QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
Searching around here at icmag, I found these two threads about reflectors. I guess anything is possible http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=26248&highlight=reflector http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=14472

Seen a guy using an aluminum turkey pan for a reflector.???
Could work in a pinch. I ran across an old reflector out in the shed. If you still need one, let me know(pm), I'll take a couple pics with some measurements and you can decide if it would help. Ship on to you if you want it, free is good but please only take it if you can use it. I want to remember the white paint was peeling from the inside but a can of krylon could fix that.

I have the "door" attached all the way down the left side. The right has hooks and elastic hoops that I hook it closed with, then I have a hook on the left to help hold the door back while I am messing with my babies.
Seriously considering getting another light, to put beside the other hps and getting rid if the 2 cfls'.
No heat problems at all, stays around 80. I am afraid the smell may get too much but I'll play it by ear. or by nose hehehe
I can stretch my wings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sure is a tidy grow room. If you add another light like I mentioned before, get metal halide to mix you spectrum (with red from the hps and blue from the metal halide). I think a 400 watt would work for your area well. Here's a place with budget systems and reflector. They have a 5 year warranty and are new and not remanufactured. Takes 1 week to ship from California. http://www.discount-hydro.com/budgetlighting.asp Don't be a stranger...

oooh shiny :} Gotta love that new growbox smell!!!
hehehehehehe, please let me stay, I like it in here. :smile:
Growing like weeds.
Damn guys, it would be so nice to just get the right answer, may be there isn't one.
I have a 150 hps, I intend on adding another light tomorrow. I am not ordering anything, it will have to be what I can purchase at Lowes. I don't veg my plants in the grow room, I have a veg cab for that.
I could buy metal halide to go along with the hps but I hear they get hotter and use more wattage with no real return. So......do I get another hps and have 300 hps in my room?
