Do reflectors make much of a difference in terms of how much light plants
actually get? If so, does anyone have any DIY plans for reflectors.??

Reflectors can make a big difference. However, it's not easy to make
them.
Most people who build their own fixtures just paint the inside of the
fixture
white. This works better than trying to line them with foil, mylar, etc.

You can also use the mirrored tile you get from most home repair depots;
some just peel and stick while you have to glue others on. Most can be cut
with a good utility knife.

They make very good reflectors.
