Hi Aquaticus,
Here is a DIY thread for a compact fluorescent 'gutter light' I built with an
AH Supply kit which included a MIRO 4 highly polished reflector.

My next project will be to put together the same system with the
new AH Supply LED Lamp arrays. Here is the DIY thread showing the LED Lamp array retrofitted into an old All-Glass strip light housing.
