Default Make a cfl reflector out of a plastic gutter?
I have some plastic white gutter laying around and from the looks of it they could be turned into quite a nice reflector.

It could definitely work. Only things I'm thinking of are:

Is it wide enough to actually put a bulb in it (fixture in back)?

Can the sides be stretched out to actually reflect light down instead of sideways? ( /^\ instead of |^| )

What kind of plastic? PVC? (Will it melt, is what I'm really getting at.)

Just brainstorming with you, let me know...
