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. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A light fixture, comprising: a hood; one or more reflectors; one or more light sources; a front covering; wherein said hood is comprised of a plurality of openings and an interior surface; wherein said plurality of hood openings is comprised of a front opening and one or more duct openings; wherein said one or more reflectors are positioned between said interior surface of said hood and said one or more light sources such that a light emitted by said one or more light sources is substantially prevented from reaching an interior surface of said hood and wherein said light is substantially reflected by said one or more reflectors out of said front opening; wherein said one or more positioned reflectors creates a front light area and a back dark area in said hood; wherein said one or more reflectors have a plurality of concealed openings that allow the passage of air between said back dark area and said front light area; wherein said one or more duct openings are connected to an air flow system that causes air to flow into and out of said hood; wherein said front covering is transparent; wherein said one or more reflectors generally have a curved concave shape; and wherein said one or more light sources are not in a horizontal position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein said one or more light sources is comprised of a light bulb socket and a light bulb. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The light fixture of claim 2, wherein said plurality of concealed openings comprise a concealed socket opening and one or more concealed corner openings; wherein said concealed socket opening is adapted to fit around said light bulb socket such that when said light bulb is connected so said light bulb socket, said socket concealed opening is substantially concealed from view. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The light fixture of claim 3, wherein said one or more reflectors are further comprised of one or more corner reflectors; wherein said one or more corner reflectors are positioned to substantially conceal one or more concealed corner openings. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The light fixture of claim 4, wherein said light fixture promotes the growth of plants. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein said one or more reflectors are scored. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The light fixture of claim 4, wherein said one or more reflectors are pitted. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The light fixture of claim 4, wherein said one or more corner reflectors are pitted. ### Claim 9 A light fixture, comprising: a hood; one or more reflectors; one or more light sources; wherein said hood is comprised of a plurality of openings and an interior surface; wherein said plurality of hood openings is comprised of a front opening and one or more duct openings; wherein said one or more reflectors are positioned between said interior surface of said hood and said one or more light sources such that a light emitted by said one or more light sources is substantially prevented from reaching an interior surface of said hood and wherein said light is substantially reflected by said one or more reflectors out of said front opening; wherein said one or more positioned reflectors creates a front light area and a back dark area in said hood; wherein said one or more reflectors have a plurality of concealed openings that allow the passage of air between said back dark area and said front light area; and wherein said one or more reflectors generally have a curved concave shape. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The light fixture of claim 9, further comprising: one or more removable duct connectors; wherein said one or more removable duct connectors are configured to substantially cover said one or more duct openings. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The light fixture of claim 9, further comprising: one or more removable grates. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The light fixture of claim 10, further comprising: one or more removable grates; wherein said one or more removable grates are configured to fit between said one or more duct openings and said one or more removable duct connectors, and are configured to substantially cover said one or more duct openings. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The light fixture of claim 9, wherein said one or more light sources is comprised of a light bulb socket and a light bulb. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The light fixture of claim 13, wherein said plurality of concealed openings comprise a concealed socket opening and one or more concealed corner openings; wherein said concealed socket opening is adapted to fit around said light bulb socket such that when said light bulb is connected so said light bulb socket, said socket concealed opening is substantially concealed from view. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The light fixture of claim 9, wherein said one or more reflectors are further comprised of one or more corner reflectors; wherein said one or more corner reflectors are positioned to substantially conceal one or more concealed corner openings. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The light fixture of claim 9, wherein said one or more reflectors are scored. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The light fixture of claim 15, wherein said one or more reflectors are pitted. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The light fixture of claim 15, wherein said one or more corner reflectors are pitted. ### Claim 19 (depends on 9) The light fixture of claim 9, wherein said one or more duct openings are connected to an air flow system that causes air to flow into and out of said hood. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The light fixture of claim 19, further comprising a front covering.
