Thanks for the comments guys. They are LOVING the new lumins today!:thumbsup: They're growin like weeds!:jumphappy:

The florescent fixtures are the $10 ones at HomeDepot with 4 of the $10 aquarium/plant(2700k/1600L ea) bulbs. Totalling $60.

The reflector itself came from a local hardware store and cost me $6. But that was about 5 years ago. It's just a polished stainless sheet, bent to reflect. I'd guess they are still available somewhere.

The CFLs were a little more complex. I bought 3 ceramic sockets rated to handle up to 660w at 240v. they cost $3.97 each. Then the 15' power cord for lamps cost $5.98. I already had the rivets, rivet gun and soldering iron. the CFLs were on sale at $4.97 for two bulbs.

Total cost for the entire fixture adds up to $90.??.:thumbsup:

pic1 and 2: a look at where the reflector is jammed into the florescent fixure's seam, also can see riveted CFL socket.

pic 3 is how I used coat hangers to force the lamps to angle off the hanging chains. The cross piece of hanger is causing the to fixtures to hang evenly to each other.

It's basically all held together by gravity. :thumbsup:
