I'm absolutely convinced that reflectors are totally the thing. The main problem with CFLs IMO is that people just stick them near the plants with no reflectors. 2/3 of the light energy wasted! Light that goes up is useless.
I'm making my own reflectors for the CFLs that I am using to supplement the HPS lamps. I can see the difference. It's not rocket science; just get some stiff card, use art glue (spray), and paste Mylar on each side. I wired mine on to the holder with a little steel wire.
