I've taken down the LED's today to attempt to modify them to focus their light more. I'm going to take a regular reflector and drill holes in the rim where I'll mount the LED clusters. They shoot their light in a straight line pretty much, so they don't actually need to be in the reflector. Instead, I'll continue to use a regular CFL bulb in the socket of the reflector. I hope this works, or I blow 160 bucks of light. What do you think?

Edit: Quickly realized this is a bad idea, because the reflector is indeed metal and would be touching all the little pins on the back of the LED clusters. Any ideas of what else I could mount them on?
