DIY CFLS reflectors

I was bored today so i decided to make a new reflector =D. Anyways, all the materials you can find at home (nothing special).

- 1x big water bottle (the one that goes into the water tank)
- aluminum tin foil
- knife
- tape

PLUS REP for you,

Thank you thank you!!

lol tin foil eh? sorry bro, but I really dont think you deserved that rep...

I know a stoner can come up with something better then that...

like i said, the materials i used can be easily found at home. But, if you wanted to make a more "effective" reflector, you can replace the tin foil with whatever is better (mylar, white paint, etc). Not gonna lie though, i think my reflector is pretty awesome. =D

minus the fact that the tin foil will create hot spots and burn and possibly kill your plants ... ITS AWESOME

that'll happen with mad crinkles like the ones you have inside the water bottle. nice idea i guess

lol =D, i'll let you guys know how they turn out when it's finished though =D

i made a foil reflector my first time. Not sure if it worked... I just use flat white paint now. Not the best but it's clean and doesnt get dirty so fast. The second guys reflector was tight, i wanna know what the shiny surface was made of.

thanks buddy =D it was mylar, yes it looks like tin foil but thats only because of how many lights there are and the spray adhesive under it started to like... come undone/make the mylar bubble.

he deserves some rep for that. Hell if its all you got it still works.. Ive used tin foil before and never got any burns so props to you!
