alanmin4304 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Try lamp specialists 10 Stevens Street. The reflectors are not cheap because they are made in NZ. That is where I bought 2 x 3 ft tubes for $27. They only take cash, no eftpos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_elmo Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thanks Alan p.s i'm the one that picked up the java fern on sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I recently made some 4'ers up from plastic spouting. Gave the inside a couple of coats of Chrome paint. You may have to get some ends though if the light is sitting on top on its own. Mine were hidden from view so I didn't need them.

Caryl Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I too have reflectors made from plastic guttering (there are pics posted in here of them somewhere). I lined some of mine with aluminium foil to refect the light downwards more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I haven't forgotten Elmo. I was going to tell you where to get the lights but got distracted. Thats the place. Right by where Canterbury wins the rugby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
