Abstract
A reflector and method for making the same involves joining a set of curved reflective segments together to form a concave reflector having a focal point common to all of the segments. Each segment is conveniently a quarter section of the overall reflector, for example, and includes a pair of connecting plates arranged generally perpendicularly with respect to one another along its peripheral edges. The plates of adjacent segments may be joined together such that each segment and its associated plates are directed generally towards the common focal point. The various segments may be made by conventional plastic forming techniques and coated on one side thereof with reflective material.
