Hey everyone,
I am putting together a miniature grow, just 1 plant, more for fun than for yield. I am looking at http://www.prolighting.com/soush70-12-k.html for a ballast, http://www.prolighting.com/mebasopo.html for a socket, and http://www.prolighting.com/lu70-med.html for my bulb. See what I meant by small?

Anyways, the bulb is only 5 7/16" long. I did a google search for 6" reflectors, but all I found was 24" long reflectors with 6" depth. I was wondering if anyone knew where to find a very small reflector, or hell, even just some sort of fixture so I can hang/mount this lamp to the roof of my grow box.

You seem like a resourceful person.
Make your own reflector. The easiet to do would be a cool tube reflector.
I seen a couple of DIY's on making one. Theres nothing to them. a pyrex or what ever
high temp plastic there using, (2) 6" to 4" reducers and a little metal tab to mount
your mogul to the reflector.

I would think about a 250 watt HPS it's only another $25 bucks or so, and you get
3x's that watts.
Heres a decent place to go. I bought a 400watt hps kit from them. All you would need is the reflector, and bulb. with a cool tube, you don't have those heat issue.

To be honest with you it looks like a better kit, than the 70watt HPS.
