Print out this drawing on a regular size paper and take it to Office Max or Staples and have them blow it up 281%. It will fit on a 24"x24" piece of paper and will be the full scale size.
I got the reflector material from Specialty-Lighting, but it only comes in packs of 4 2'x4' sheets. That's enough to make 8 mini's and it costs $150 for the 4 sheets. Comes out to $18.75 per reflector if you can get a few guys to go in with you on them. It is stiffer than the SunTunnel, but it was easier to work with.
Where can you buy that style reflector for $19?

I can get spider reflectors shipped for $30 ea. Theres no one in my area that would need them...

Those lumenarcs are much more reflective than spider reflectors. There is a huge difference.

I just need something that will deflect the light down... heck i could even line my light with tinfoil and itd be better that the white metal...
 
Tinfoil would be worse than plain white metal. The wrinkles in the tinfoil would scatter the light instead of direct it down.
