<a name="cheapcfref"></a>ok, i don't have it painted yet but i made my reflector and if anyone else wants to use it here's how i did it...

Take a soda can and cut the top off about the size of your ballast just takeing the top off iwth a can opener wasn't the right size for mine i cut right below the lip with some sissors, it's ok if your cut is a littel jagged just make sure not to cut yourself.

Now cut the side from the 2 points marked on this image.

Cut out about a 90° section. Make a cut about 2 inches or so farther around the can on each side, now bend these flaps back a littel to make it reflect the light down insted of back to the light. Cut out the bottem of the can, for a littel more ventalation with a few tries a can opener worked good here. Stab a small hole neat the bottom on the opposite side to the one you cut the rectangle from.

Slid your bulb in the cut on the side, and poke the side that screws in the light socet out the top of the can. The can's small jaggs where you cut it should stab and lock in at the point indacated on the folowing image.

Put the bulb in the socket.

Tie a string or whatever on the end of the reflector you pocked the small hole in, and the other end of the string around the light socket. Now just tie another string onto this string and tie it to a tack or whatever to the top of your grow box to adjust hight.

Sorry i don't have a digi cam to make better pics but mabye if someone with one uses this they could give us some pics...

enjoy
