reflector, reflector and reflector!!!!

go77306 · 31st July 2004, 01:53 AM

I need a parabolic reflector for the 150W CDM-T lamp. I went to Walmart, I found a 2million candle spot light (I guess Chasse in this forum used this reflactor). But i found it is not cheap... CAS$40 plus 15% tax in Ontario.... for the whole soptlight, that is OK, but I only need a reflactor, the rest stuff is useless to me... Do you guys know where I can find a good/cheap parabolic reflector for my 150W cdm lamp?

Thanks!!!!

How much is $40 compared to the overall budget, really?

1/15? maybe...
But I need to save money on each part of the project...

I got a spherical laying around if your interested, i also got one of those parabolic reflectors, tryed it out and decided to keep my spot light as a spot light!

Hi, I found a bowl from dollar store, but fortunately, I found a even better one from Homedepot...

Do you think I can use this as a reflector for my 150W CDMT lamp? (for 7" lilliput)?

I'd use a little polish on it to really give it a good shine.

Let Us know how it works out for you.

Nice find!

Sure, I will post my results here.

I haven't received my socket yet, so I cannot try it... anyway, I have tried to put the lamp from a 6Volt spotlight in, it focus well. It seems the focal length is short. Which part of the 150W CDMT emits the light? (top? middle? ot bottom?)

As for the surface, I am going to add aluminum duct tape to the inner surface if the initial test is good.
