Any use for old flash reflectors?

darinwc · Jun 18, 2016

I know people use the handles from old graflex flash handles as prop lightsabers..
But does anyone have any use for the reflector disks?
i suppose they would be good for making a desk lamp. But desk lamps are not hard to come by.
Anything else?

How about modifying incandescent lighting for macro photography?

Solar cookers for Vienna sausages? lol. (In the U.S. those are basically tiny hotdogs that come in a can, I would hope they are actually something good in other countries.)
I like Jim's idea, but also don't rule out desk lamps. Sure, there are no shortage of desk lamps, but using a flash reflector would make something interesting and unique.

Of course, spares for people who would need them is also a good idea.

Ive been thinking about mounting one on the trunk (boot) of my car to dissuade nighttime tailgating.

I could see converting them to an interesting hanging lamp. Not sure my wife would agree.

I use them to take photographs with flashbulbs, so since you have no use for them send them to me.

how about a high power LED light?

They do make beautiful desk lamps when fitted with a halogen bulb.... or just as a finishing touch like jewelry on display cameras.

got any pix of them?
