What shape reflector would be best for 2 bulbs side by side?

[slowandeasy]

Just wondering the best shape of reflector for 2 bulbs mounted side by side? This is for a small NGB style cab. Gonna make my own, but dont know what shape would be best, and suggestions? Thanks!!

Nobody uses two bulbs side by side? Want to make a reflector that fits both and some CFLs on the side. Saw one similar, but only had one bulb. Any suggestions??

Thanks for the link vinny, but that is not side by side and it is wayyyyyyyyyy tooo big. This is for a small NGB cab, I have an idea...just wanted some advice. Thanks!!

The best shape for 2 bulbs is two individual reflectors side by side

like fer screw in cfls? i saw a diy where dude used a 4 inch piece of heating duct cut in half with the bulbs side mounted in it, looked pretty solid. otherwise maybe a "M" type reflector on each bulb side by side..(actually its more like an upside down "W" but w/e)

Will have two 70 watt hps side by side. Will also have 2 CFLs on the sides, made a cardboard example last night of an idea...think it will work good! Will show pics when done.

A Bat wing reflector will work but it will not be as efficient as two seperate reflectors obviously. You will have overlapping light patterns between the bulbs and will lose some effeciency but it will work.

I have the sun systems 800W combo but the lamps are end to end which beats growzilla's side by side gig
