Ok on the econolight, when you remove the glass and shield (2 screws hold it on) you will see the socket. The round metal piece that the glass screws into also has 2 screws, removed those and the whole piece, socket included, should come off of the main metal housing. Have I lost you?
You should see two wires, white and black, from the main housing to the socket. I cut those in half, bought a 12ft extension cord (2 prong) and extended the white and black wires. I found this to be the easiest way to make this remote, I don't have to take anything else apart. Make sure to use electrical tape and wire caps. Next buy a 3 prong extension cord, strip the female end. You should have a white, black, and green wire.
The econolight has a white/ black/ and copper wire. Match colors up, and connect the green and copper wire (Ground) together as well. Tape and cap it up and walla you should have liftoff. Feel free to make your own reflector how you see fit.

Here are some pictures to make everything make sense, the white thing is just some random thing I found in the closet, maybe a shoe holder I have no idea, the fans were $3-5 at walmart on clearance, the dual fan next to the reflector sucks air and pushes it up to the fan which then sucks it into the attic.
I also added some updates of my girls.

Your lighting rig looks like a spaceship.. But works!
The dual fan rules, I have one of those in my house and I love it.
What I want to know is what did you use to make the reflector, how much did it cost, and if you just used a sheet of tin, how did you make the bends?

To make the reflector I went to home depot and bought a $9 piece of aluminum from the heating and cooling dept, roughly 24"x48", I cut it down to the size I wanted, then using a 2x4 and a ruler I bent the metal to the shape I wanted, symmetrical as well, I then bought nuts and bolts, an L bracket (3INx3IN), I attached the L bracket to the metal, drilling holes and putting the nuts and bolts through, then I used nuts and bolts to attach the round metal piece to the L bracket, I drilled holes and attached hooks at the top, I painted the inside white with high temp white paint (grill paint).

The fans are secretly rocket thrusters, in case something ever happened its set to liftoff, plants and all, and fly to a designated location.
