DIY COB reflectors

[NastyN8t]

I picked up some cob reflectors on eBay 6 for $15. They are 98mm made from aluminum and advertized as narrow beam? U guys probably are already aware of this type tho......instead of dimpled aluminum sheet would a automotive windshield reflector that has all kinds of dimples,easy to cut bend and work with suffice?$3 a piece glued to back material or framework might be easier?............and I have a slip roller to make cones outta metal........

I don't think I would trust that. I foresee a puddle of plastic in its future

I considered this option right before doing my first DIY. I'm glad I went with the latter option

Just got 8 #F13838_ANGELINA-XW for $3.5 a pop. Fuck Mouser ($9.95), try to order from your local Ledil distributor instead.

We do not have these beer can in Europe yet. The top and caps look like a decent DIY reflector project on the cheap. The only problem is having to drink the beer.
