Question diy reflector?
Anybody got suggestions about how to build a cheap reflector for fluorescent light bulbs that is 30 in long?

Flat white spray paint.

Works great, I think Hoppycalif may have a fairly detailed thread on the various reflectors he's tried and bang for the buck seems to be the white paint if I recall.

It is working great for me anyway...

those are 2 good post.

the first one is very long and intense but a good read. the second is a shorter post where i think white paint came out as the top dog.
