Heat Shields - Waste of money or an essential purchase?

[PhatJay]

If you're talking about something like a Super Spreader, I tried them and took them off within a day.

Yeah thats the thing. One comes free with the adjustawing reflector I am looking at.

I do like Adjust-a-Wings though!

I only have a small tent 75cm x75cm x 2m. So I don't need to spread the light and I am only going to be running a 250 or 400w bulb (depending on how temps go - I am buying a switchable digital ballast and both bulbs). Do you think it is worthwhile spending the money on an adjustawing? There are cheaper copies of the adjustawing that use the same material and are of a very similar style.
