ABSTRACT:
An adjustable specular reflector adapted for use in existing fluorescent lighting fixtures includes a plurality of facets extending longitudinally and hingedly joined together. The reflector may be formed of a form-retaining cardboard web having a highly reflective material adhered to one side, with longitudinal score lines defining the hinge portions between adjacent facets. A malleable wire or strip is secured to each end of the web, so that the facets may be oriented in a desired focussing relationship and will remain in the field-configured orientation. A rigid channel member is secured to opposed, longitudinally extending edges of the web to maintain planarity of the reflector facets. Self-adhesive patches are secured to the non-reflector side of the web, so that the reflector may be installed in virtually any fluorescent fixture.
