cfl reflector (jesus3)

Today on my work (I work in some hardware shop) I got an idea about cfl reflector. Its really cheap and easy to build. I used some floor underlyer & 6 sokets for lamps. To build this you need just scissors & silver tape. Maybe this will help to some people. My ref. has 60 cm diameter.

[GoodFriend]

the sockets where probably just tied together or rigged up in some other way to be in that shape...

you can get the sockets at any hardware store or home depot, lowes, etc...

Hw much did that roll of floor insulation cost... ??

this material is very cheap somewhere 1,50$ for m2.

 

[jesus3]

are you smashing electrons ? you need a holiday

what you think with smashing electrons?if you talking about wiring this is safest way to do this,if one bulb broke or burns out all others still work.in other way if one burn out all bulbs don't work.peace.
