If i may suggest, try square ones. or the long reflectors used with regular lights. |
Thank You
I'm have looked into parabolic reflectors, and depending on whether or not I can locate a proper reflector at a reasonable cost will determine whether or not I will incorporate them.. For right now, My reflectors will be similar to those found in LED flashlights. I'm fairly certain from my own experience with LED lighting that the heat created, will be minimal and at worst, can be handled adequately with a small ventilation system. These are the sorts of things I will monitor very closely when the prototype is ready for the first tests!
