Power Compact Reflectors


Anybody know where I can get a reflector for compact flourescent bulbs? I am hunting one long one that I can cut in pieces (48") for 4 bulbs. Or, 4 reflectors for a 13W bulb. A search for them hasn't come up promising for me

Any where else I can look? I found the ones on www.ahsupply.com and want something to compare them to. The reflectors are more than the lights they are going on

Do they make 48" PC's? I thought 36" (96w) was as big as they came...

Just looked there. They have the entire light fixture but not just the reflectors I have the lights, want to take them apart and put individual reflectors on them so I can do the lights tighter in the canopy.

Thanks. I looked, and am going to look later, but a quick search didn't come up useful

The lights I have are 13W PC lights. I have a single bulb fixture and a 3 bulb fixture. The reflectors need to be about 9 inches long for each bulb. If I can find 9" reflectors, great. If I can find a 36" and cut my own reflectors and save some money then I will

They have a 48" reflector on ahsupply.com. I am just looking for alternatives and different prices to compare.

Reflectors


Randy, here is a link for lighting stuff including reflector material...it is flat metal so you will have to cut and bend or just cut to fit the lid of your nano. Wade http://www.northcoastmarines.com/lighting_parts.htm

Thanks. I looked at it and may end up having to make my own if I can't find any like I want.

I guess I am going to call ahsupply.com tomorrow and see if the 36W reflectors they have will work for what I want or if the bulb size is different enough to cause problems with it. The reflector is 4" wide for a 36W bulb but my bulbs are only 1.5" or so wide.
