Metal Dish

I'm after a thin steel or aluminium dished disc bit like a satellite dish really, i want to make a ceiling light from it and want something arounf 750 - 800mm ish diameter

any ideas i can't seem to find much off the shelf rather than custom made stuff

Old sky dish?
Light can also penetrate it then!

Our table top patio heater has a top similar to what you are describing, might be worth a look on freecycle etc for an old one ?

I think the big floor standing heaters have a dished top too but its made from 3 or 6 seperate sections.

Last month I threw out a light fitting almost exactly fitting that description.
