Bob, welcome to ZEOvit.com
7-9" is the norm, depending on surface water turbulance/splash. Bob

Good point, Steve, plus, heat from the lamps can be more easily dispersed. Bob"There might be something to this ZEOvit"Comment

I'm using a luminarc reflector with the 400W SE. Before I had a 250w SE over this spot and I really haven't seen any change other than I'm getting more light over a larger area.
I'm using this
I got three of them through Madison and a group buy.

Now that's a nice looking reflector. How much does it cost to buy just the reflector?
It says it weights 12 lbs? That's kind of heavy for a reflector.Comment

They retail for about $150.00 USD which includes the reflector, mogal base socket and cord with male-end plug. The socket is mounted to a seperate extenision which allows you to move the socket further in or out of the reflector based on the wattage/size of the bulb.
As for the weight... I don't know where the 12lbs figure comes from. I just put one on my scale here and it's less than 8lbs. That includes the reflector, extension housing which is galvanized steel, mogal base and base extension and the cord & plug.
