Make a cfl reflector out of a plastic gutter?

I have some plastic white gutter laying around and from the looks of it they could be turned into quite a nice reflector.

Sounds like it ought to work. Its neat to find multiple uses for stuff.

It could definitely work. Only things I'm thinking of are:

Is it wide enough to actually put a bulb in it (fixture in back)?

Can the sides be stretched out to actually reflect light down instead of sideways? ( /^\ instead of |^| )

What kind of plastic? PVC? (Will it melt, is what I'm really getting at.)

Just brainstorming with you, let me know...

sounds like it might be a good idea i like to hear more about this maybe some pix

if the plastic can take the heat it could work, if it can't you putting yourself into the shit quickly with this.

I did this like a week ago. Funny i see this now. It worked good up until today. I went out and finally got some reflectors. Its good if u have nothing.
