Need Some Advise On Light Fixture Placement !

[Buddaluva]

Im making a reflector out of a piece of ducting for some cfl`s i bought

Out of these 2 options which do you all think would be a better placement for these light sockets ?

Should i mount them on the inside or should i cut out holes and feed them through the top ?

Thanks for your advise fellas

 

[ahhhavalanche!]

it depends on the curvature of your reflector and the size of your CFLs, you want the bright part of the bulb at the focal point. From what I can see looks better on the outside, but a side shot with the bulbs would help.

These are not the cfl bulbs that i will be using , their just for the pics lol

I dont have holes cut out yet to feed through the top so i held it beside the ducting for the 2nd pic ,

i hope you can still get an idea though

These are the bulbs i will be using

Well i just got finished cutting the holes and putting them in

Shit was hell to do cuz i dont have tin snips ,

I had to use plain steal scissors , so the dame edges or jagged and sharp lol

It looks like fucking shit , not centered and shit , but fuck it , it will still work lol

Rat tail file or some foil tape will cleanup or cover the edges. McGyver lives.
