Claim Text:
1. A grow light with passive cooling, comprising: a housing shell including at least one curved panel and having a reflective interior surface that defines an interior space in which a grow light bulb is disposed, said housing shell having a housing opening at a lower portion through which light from said grow light is directed downwardly onto plants, and further having at least one ventilation opening in an upper portion; a light power cord and socket assembly having a socket into which said grow light bulb is disposed when in use, such that said grow light bulb is substantially directly below said at least one ventilation opening; and a reflective baffle disposed between said at least one ventilation opening and said grow light bulb, said reflective baffle spaced apart from said upper portion and said reflective interior surface so as to form a gap through which air heated by said grow light bulb can flow before exiting said interior space through said at least one ventilation opening, said reflective baffle configured in such a way that incident light from said grow light bulb is reflected away from said at least one ventilation opening, downwardly into said interior space and either directly out said housing opening or indirectly out said housing opening after first reflecting off said reflective interior surface of said housing shell.
