I was wondering which of these two light systems would work best? I have read that having the extra spectrum (5000 lumens of blue spectrum) would be good, but I also have read that mirror like aluminum surface reflector (1st system) is not as good as the reflector with the dimpled dimpled aluminum (non-mirror) surface (second system). If they both are not good , due to the reflectors, could I just paint the interior a flat white to reflect better?

I am ready to purchase a light setup for my first indoor grow, but I am on the fence about these two systems. Do I want a better reflector, or a better lamp? Or can I have both with a little white paint?

Thanks, Guys
