i need to build two reflectors... 1 for a 150w hps another for a 400w hps i think i will use anodized aluminium, but is there a particular shape i should do or something i should know before starting thanks
Mine are one side white, one side aluminium(not polished) but i can't choose which side... 1-the white one: i'm not sure if the paint they use will resist the intense heat from a 150w and a 400w hps 2-the aluminium side looks good but not as "mirror" as yours looks... i think it's anodized aluminium what do you think... thanks
