Building cheap light reflector

There ya go!

icurb- I have been following your grow and for the first time clicked on this DIY, I am going to go out this week and get the supplies this week 4 sure - Great Idea! +++ Rep!

Looks pretty nifty,good tutorial for the cfl guy's too.

Pretty good job & pretty creative.

Plus rep.

Thanks guys!

oh man i was looking at those bulb socket outlet things those are sweet.. now i want to go to lowes

hey i curb, just got done with it and works great. followed it to a T except for the zip ties, that was one thing i forgot so im using the pipe cleaners until i get another chance to make a lowes run. dont have a fan so ill only put it up when i can monitor the heat until i grab one.

thanks man, i know i said plus rep but had to spread it first so ill try it again now!

edit**** still not, ill owe u one

Im glad you got one built. I loved mine and used it through-out the entire veg stage. Then I got a 150w hps for flower and I still used the reflector on my cooltube for weeks... I eventually traded it out for a piece of tin... But I will use the reflector on my next grow, again and again!

Careful the metal for the pipe cleaners don't cross the plugs for the lights!

Icurb...did you make your cooltube?

yes sir.. about a month ago

nice...I just ordered another bake around and econo light...Im going for the dual HPS.

Dual is something I want to try... I cant financially deal with it now.. But at some point.

I rock the econolight...I'll eat top ramen for weeks so my girls get what they need..But I live in Vegas so its easy to make money!

Great Idea.. This works for flowering too?

I had this reflector on my cooltubed 150w HPS and it was not too hot at all.. I later replaced it on the cooltube with some tin just cuz it was cheap and I didnt have the 'worry' of any fires..

I still have the DIY reflector, and I will use it over and over for sure.

Very good idea! I might have to adopt this concept when I start my cfl grow in january

Where did you find the socket plugs at? +rep

Any hardware/home improvement store should have them. Home Depot, Lowes, etc!

nice reflector. going to home depot to get some sockets. it will work great for my clones.

Kudos to you,
This was the exact idea i been thinking of.
I now have the pics to see it does work!
Thanks again, and i'm on my way to the posterboard store. Lol
Peace

I will have to build one or two of thoes some time soon.
