Reflector Material

Trying to build my own HPS lamp.
I want to build myself a little reflector on top of the bulb so that light gets directed to the plants correctly, but i cant really find a reflector...(dont send me URLS to buy them , because i cant internet -buy where i live)
Ive seen the reflectors are made with some kind of aluminium or something material.
What material is it? (the one used for standard cheap HPS builds)
:thumbsup:

I have seen what looks like the same material in a sheet metal factory, and they sell offcuts cheap but i am not sure if it has the same reflection properties or not i dont know.

I dont think i would use Mylar for a reflector in conjunction with a HPS lamp as it could be a fire hazard.

i would go to home depot or lowes and ask them, theyll show you the right stuff. Tell um about the hps light and everything but not the plants obviously, they dont get in ur buisness.

LOLOLOL!
Hey mister i have some weed plants with an HPS lamp. Need some reflective stuff so light reaches them better. What u got? :hippy:
