i have a 400w lumatek ballast. I created this reflector out of sheet metal from home depot, its 10''deep, 10''square at top and spreads to about a 15'' square at the bottom, so it has angled sides. My light gets here monday so i cant test it yet. I wonder if this alluminum is shiny enough. I used tin snips to cut the sheets into squares and then screwed the 5 sides together. Sheet metal=$10
tin snips-$10
screws=$5
so around $25 for a reflector. Cheapest one i found online was about$30
i forgot to mention, i plan on burning bulb base up so that i can get the length of the plants instead of just the top
