Black egg crate

[mltmtascp]

Does anybody know where I can buy Black egg crate locally? I only need about 3 sheets. Online you have to buy like 15 sheets.

Thanks,
Monica

I know we're more than half the state apart, but with all the different stores we've got around here, I've only ever seen and bought white.

Maybe try a dedicated lighting store?

how much is it a sheet online? we could split the order. Is it the same price as the white or cheaper?

I found it for 146.45 for 10 sheets including shipping. Let me talk to Don and see if he is still interested. I will let you know.

Why do you want black?

 

[mltmtascp]

I don't know just thought it would look neat??? one of my female moments. LOL

I would think if you used white you may get a little bit of benefit from reflected light.

 

[brandon2432]

very true. thats not cheap enough to order online n e ways.

White eggcrate has been shown to be "better" in that it can reflect light, but only a small percentage if I remember correctly.
I have a small sheet of black eggcrate, but I don't know where it came from honestly.

How about using white eggcrate and spraying it with black krylon fusion?

$25 + S/H is better than $146 !

The $146 quote above was for 10 sheets.

OH! I didn't realize that was the same site. My bad....

I'd still go with the black krylon fusion.
