I would think so but you would have to figure out how to mount a piece of glass on the end to filter out the u.v rays. And possible grounding/short problems with the de socket. other than that ya you could.

Denis, do you have a pic. of the reflector ?

reflector
 

Here you go.
It's 20" x 45"
I usually straighten it up and then re-bend it to suit my needs.
The protective plastic is still on.
This is my spare one I don't realy need, let me know if interested.

Those pics are so small it's almost like they're not there.

Has anyone tried reflective mylar? Here is an example:

Seems like a pretty cheap option.

Mylar is plastic and if it is close to a MH it will melt. also after long exposure it starts to delamanate.
