Ok, so here's the deal...I've been growing with CFLs for a while now and kept getting frustrated with the amount of lost light and reflector options...so being the pot smoker that I am, came up with this idea...may be new, may be old...but regardless here it is.
What I bought:
Dixie Paper Bowls
Foil
What I needed:
Scissors
All I did was experiment with the size of the hole and basically just cut a hole in the center of the bottom of the bowl about the same size as the ballast part of the bulb...I then wrapped the inside of the bowl with foil with the satin side facing out. I then took off the bulb, gently slid the bowl over the ballast...and wha-la...you get what's in the picture...seems to be working beautifully...no more lost light and now my box is ugly as poo...so that's always kind of funny!
Anyhow, hope everyone appreciates my stoner idea!

Oh and those of you worried about fire, I can hold the bulb in my hand, so we should be ok!
The other pictures weren't meant to be uploaded in this thread...sorry.
