anyone know where to get, or how to make a parabolic lamp cover. we've got the fixtures for some cfl's but want to concentrate the light a bit more onto the plants. buying all new lamps would suck. so can i just buy or make these reflective covers? our "box" is big so directing the light would help us out a bit.
Were you referring to a mini reflector to attach to your CFLs? How did you go about making one? An easy way to make reflectors for CFLs is to cut a pop can in half and cut 2 slits on one end to make tabs so you can wrap it around the bulb.
i didn't make one yet...before i posted i was typing the wrong thing into google. i was calling it a reflective lamp shade...lol... i just started finding some info...although your idea is certainly the most cost effective...even though we don't drink pop...i can spare a few bucks and get a few cans!! thanks!!
