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

Find another one for an outdoor lighting fixture over the entrance to
my shop.

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.

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".

Excellent excuse to start metal spinning- or cut up an old, large,
bundt pan!

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.

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.

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.
