The picture and pleural reflectorS is misleading. desertcart, take note of this seller. - Three reflectorS are pictured. The word "reflectors" pleural is used in the description. I have one in the mail. Had I realized I was paying close to 50.00 for one parabolic dull peice of metal I would have never purchased. Seller: Update your picture, you are not selling a reflectorS, you are selling a reflector. Just one. ## Features - IDEAL for a wide variety of light collection applications - MADE from 0.04" thick aluminum and features a center hole and mounting rim - Applications include solar energy collectors (solar furnaces), directional microphones, and detector systems - Parabolic, 12" dia ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #867 in Lighting Reflectors | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 6 Reviews | ## Images ![Large Parabolic Reflector 12" Diameter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-QUYjxuCL.jpg) ![Large Parabolic Reflector 12" Diameter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81F74oboS9L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Besides the quantity, did the reflectors work effectively? Do they concentrate light in a focused area?** A: Yes the reflectors do work effectively, and should be handled with care. You can see functional applications from solar ovens to solar stirling engines. **Q: What are the sizes of these reflectors? Are all 3 priced at $34.00? I am most interested in one that is 18" diameter.** A: Dear Marilyn. I am not sure where you are shopping at. It looks like Scientifics direct. I have a 12 in @ $41.95, They also have 18 in $59.95 24 in $ 84.95. They are made of metal & have an opening about the size of your thumb in the center.They are of good optical quality. There are also many other companies selling this product. May i suggest, Green power science. (you tube). Buy a huge Fresnel lens. They sell SUPERIOR optical parabolic mirrors made of acrylic 6 in $37. 13 in $69. 17 in $79(mine) 26 in $129. 29 in $179. 35 in $279. 46 in $429. & larger.Sorry i got carried away. Hope you find this helpful. Bob. PS. CAUTION .All of these, especially the larger mirrors are capable of causing SEVERE eye damage ! **Q: What is the height of this reflector?** A: The diameter of the dish is 23 & 1/2 inch. The depth is 6 inches. I bought more than one size so I don't know if this is the one you are asking about. **Q: I'd like to plant veggies in a not-too-sunny, glassed in, bright, fluorescent-lighted room with skylights. Can this be aimed at the "garden"?** A: No. The parabolic dish is used to focus the light to a point from 3 to 5 inches above the bottom of the dish. I can't see it working for what you are talking about. I guess if it was set up in such a way it would let the light continue past the focal point and then defuse into the room so it might provide additional light but a mirror put in the same spot would reflect additional light into the room. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Product Review *by D***E on February 2, 2024* Exactly what I ordered and expected. Thank you. ### ⭐⭐ ONE dull reflector. The picture and pleural reflectorS is misleading. Amazon, take note of this seller. *by A***R on November 7, 2013* Three reflectorS are pictured. The word "reflectors" pleural is used in the description. I have one in the mail. Had I realized I was paying close to 50.00 for one parabolic dull peice of metal I would have never purchased. Seller: Update your picture, you are not selling a reflectorS, you are selling a reflector. Just one. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Reflector....not Reflectors *by D***Y on December 11, 2013* Just as the previous reviewer stated...the picture shows more than one reflector and the discription stated reflectors. A little deceiving, however it should always be buyer beware. The reflector works fine , but it is a little pricey for one piece. ## Frequently Bought Together - Large Parabolic Reflector 12" Diameter - Glow EZ Lock 16x48 Quick Strip Rectangular Bowens Mount Softbox w/External, Internal Diffusers, Deflector Disk, Grid, Soft Box Speedring Adapter for Studio Softbox Lighting - SmallRig RC 100B COB Video Light with Handle, Bi-Colour Video Light 2700K-6500K, Type-C PD Fast Charging, Built-in Battery Plate, App Control for Photography and Photo Studio, Mobile Version - 4894 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/2016736-large-parabolic-reflector-12-diameter](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/2016736-large-parabolic-reflector-12-diameter) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
