Metal Light Reflector
We used to have a large flat metal reflector on an outdoor light
fixture, Maybe 18" to 24" diameter, green on top and white on the bottom. The reflector was mounted in a horizontal plane and rippled around the edge like corrugated metal roofing. Probably coated with porcelain. I tried to find something like this on Ebay to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks Bob AZ |

Any ideas? Thanks Bob AZ These fixtures were common 60 to 80 years ago. I'd try one of those places that deals in salvage building materials from old buildings. I've seen these fixtures mounted over shop doors, hanging over pool tables and even used as street lights... But that was a lot of years ago. Jerry |

Bob AZ I've seen those all over the place. I'm sure you can find one at most any local lighting showroom (lighting only, not big box store). If they don't have it on the floor they will absolutely recognize it and be able to order it. They're real popular with the various big corporation stores and restaurants trying to pretend they're "country". |

I like those style lights a lot, many different effects avail. by using different bulbs, like the ones that are silvered on the part that faces down. Dave |

Dave In an Applebees or MC one time, I saw large copper colanders that were turned upside down and made into table lights. The light shone through the perforations, and was perfect. The copper (or plate) looked cool, too. Have also seen large copper pots done the same. Not hard for a metlworker. Steve |

Any ideas? Like this? http://www.angelfire.com/stars4/stre...ts/radial3.jpg Try "radial wave" in your search string. I think the originals were produced by GE during the transition from arc to incandescent lamps, at least that's my recollection from when I was looking for one about 20 years ago. Despite the fact the fact they were all over town when I was a kid, I never found one for sale. -- Ned Simmons |
