hey i curb, just got done with it and works great. followed it to a T except for the zip ties, that was one thing i forgot so im using the pipe cleaners until i get another chance to make a lowes run. dont have a fan so ill only put it up when i can monitor the heat until i grab one.

thanks man, i know i said plus rep but had to spread it first so ill try it again now!

edit**** still not, ill owe u one :)

Im glad you got one built. I loved mine and used it through-out the entire veg stage. Then I got a 150w hps for flower and I still used the reflector on my cooltube for weeks... I eventually traded it out for a piece of tin... But I will use the reflector on my next grow, again and again!

Careful the metal for the pipe cleaners don't cross the plugs for the lights! :)

I had this reflector on my cooltubed 150w HPS and it was not too hot at all.. I later replaced it on the cooltube with some tin just cuz it was cheap and I didnt have the 'worry' of any fires..

I still have the DIY reflector, and I will use it over and over for sure.
