Dont waste your time/money trying to build a reflector. Just buy one. The reflector is by far the most imporant part of your lights. Chincing out and trying to DIY your are almost 100% gaurenteed to create a much lower quality reflector and thus your performance will be substandard. Do the rest of the DIY lighting to your hearts content!
