Modified 8.5w LED Bulb

Here's how to make a nice little reflectorized lamp from a common 60w replacement bulb. Once you make a scored line around the bulb with a serrated knife it's easier to cut around it. It's flexible enough that it doesn't crack easily. Then just wrap some foil around it, being careful not to have it contact any part of the LED mounting, since it may be live. The LED with some brown on it was burnt out. You never know until you cut them open. I didn't use tape or anything due to heat, just plain wrapping. Stayed on nice and solid though.

The replaceable foil stove drip catcher might be an easier solution. They are $3 for an 6 pack at my grocery store
