perhaps make a couple of different types, using tin foil. this would allow you to see the benefits of the different designs. then decide which one you like the best. at least then you would know which would suites you.
 
I used tin-foil on my planted 20L. It works quite well. Plants are growing better then before. Just make sure the tin-foil doesnt touch the bulb. I used blue-tac hehe. Been like this for a good 3months. Cheap and easy

i tried tin foil, but it started to burn the tips even tho i put it like 2 inches away from them, but i can try it again.
 
Is the tin-foil double sided? One side more bright then the other? Maybe switch them around to see if that makes a difference. I didnt know tin-foil could burn that easy
