lumeric style reflector for 150 de?

is a lumeric style reflector going to increase the effectiveness of a de 150 mh over using a current usa reflector?

are there high end reflectors like the lumeric III mini for a 150 de?

nismo-

reflectors make an enormous difference in light output. Something like a lumenarc reflector should significantly boost the output over a smaller reflector.
Unfortunately I've not seen Lumenarc reflectors available in 150w de size. You could buy the 250w size and retrofit 150w sockets.
