Abstract
The invention is a grow light with reflectors that serve to conceal a vacuum air flow system. The air flow system does not interfere with the reflectors, which enables the reflectors to more efficiently reflect light to the plants being grown. The bulb within the grow light may be configured in many different manners, including horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. The grow light may or may not be connected to an air movement system.
