Heres the pics of a tutorial i've saved from OverGrow a while back (long b4 it got shutdown). I forgot the OG user who made this, so please tell me if anyone knows. [EDIT- The dudes name is "DurbanLegend"; thanks to blinx for reminding us] This was one of the best DIY reflector tutorials on OG, so here it is (i had to write up the descriptions myself):

First cut out some sheet metal according to this diagram (Dont forget to cut out some tabs for rivets or screws to hold it together (you can also hold it together with alumminum tape, but its not as permanent). Also, dont forget to cut out a long rectangular strip on one of the edges, which is needed to mount the socket):



Next, bend the cut out into an octagonal shape (hold it together with rivets, screws or alumminum tape):




Then, bend the metal strip inward and mount the light socket:




Now wire up the socket, screw in the bulb and fire it up!





If you want you can paint it white for better reflection:




Dont forget that you'll need "tin snips" (also known as "aviation snips") to cut through sheet metal:

cool , diy . is allways fun if you have a brain and a good hand.

Great work.

Very awesome guide youve dug up. I remember all the stuff from OG that will be greatly missed *sigh*

just wondering, to make this air cooled could u just put a 4 inch vent adapter in the top center to pull air over the bulb? would this work as well as a cool tube? just curious
