I don't like the ones from Home Depot that don't have reflectors at all, so I've tried to phase them out. I've done a better job of that than I realized, because I only have one of those fixtures in use. It's on the back side, so I had to get a pic of it from an angle. The one on the left is from Home Depot and completely lacks reflectors. The one on the right is from Lowe's.

For what it's worth, I like the larger reflectors better. It directs the light down on the plants where it needs to go rather than letting it shine out into the room.

Hope this helps!
