I have some high bay warehouse style lights with vertical bulbs that I would like to convert to a horizontal bulb configuration with remote ballast. I will wire the existing top ballast to a place on the wall. I'm guessing this isn't a very good type of reflector as is, right?
They are capable of handling various voltages and 0-400W (MH, HPS, Hg) and 1000W (MH, HPS, Hg) bulbs.
I was thinking of making a reflector out of sheet metal and possibly painting it. What kind of paint would be good? Would round HVAC ducting pulled open work well for something like this?
