After trying to find a legit CFL reflector for my box i decided to buy a few things and make my own it works awesome for me so id thought id share it with everyone else hope this helps
What u need:
- 2 surge protectors ($3each)
- 1 Plastic container From Meijer (any size you like) ($5.99 for mine)
- Mylar or flat paint
- Zipties ($2)
- chain ($3)
- Eye hooks x8 ($2)
First: Aline the surge protectors horizontally against the container and trace out the holes you will need to make for the light bulbs: cut out the holes gently with a sharp knife be careful not to crack the plastic too much.
Second: Use zip ties to fasten the surge protectors in place.
Next Cover the inside of the box with Mylar or paint it white.
Then put in all of your light bulbs and plug it in.
After you check to see everything is working properly you can now install the eye hook
Put one eye hook at each corner on the bottom of the container so it can be hung do the same in the place you will be hanging your container.
Last Hang it up align it and turn i on and watch your babies grow
Let me know what u guys think this was all my idea and my tomatoes love it and so should yours
