"Lumenarc" Reflectors...

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

I am going to start this project tomorrow. DIY Lumenarc style reflectors. The ones I have seen on RC look pretty darn good and cheap! Well depending on what kind of aluminum you use.

What would you guys recommend for a highly reflective aluminum (over 85%) and where would you get it? People have been using Skylight tubing which is about 95% reflectivity but kind of pricey.

I saw someone else use just cheapo, aluminum and made a few reflectors for like $20 and then used that reflective "aluminum" tape...not sure what its actually called or used for but its in the duct area of HD. This worked but was not nearly as reflective as the proper aluminum. Apparently WAY better than even a good quality "U" shaped reflector though, so that says a lot about the design.

Here are some pics of the template (that I will print off and then take to Kinkos to get enlarged to 281%, which should make the 14" reflectors) and some finished products from RC members.









Looks pretty darn good to me.

Any ideas for a good aluminum to use?
