I need to fit 4-6' vho bulbs and 2 mh bulbs over my 125, and I only have a width of 17.25 " to do it. Anyone have any suggestions or can you point me to a place where i can get a custom reflector or materials and plans to build one?

Thanks

Nick

You can make a do it yourself reflector. I have used homedepot aluminum flashing and then went to autozone and bought mothers metal polish. You will need a buffer but it will get a mirror finish guaranteed.

Don't waste your time and or your money. I tried the aluminum flashing..to much work.

I purchased 2 48inch reflectors from http://www.reflect-a-light.com/.

I got each reflector for 9.00. Nice site. 2 reflectors with shipping was about 22.00.

I got specular aluminum reflectors.

I agree when it comes to reflectors just shop around and get the best deal. But I'm a doit yourself type person and had the buffer so cheaper for me plus I did it to my specs.
