~253.7nm seems to be the most common given off by germicidal lamps.
I first thought of using Fabry-Perot interferometers, lining the inside of the globe but decided that it would be unnecessary to use something so elaborate.
Also searching for a company who can do it was fruitless. My guess is that the expense would be very high as well.

I have never heard of someone polishing magnesium oxide -- it usually used as a diffuse reflector, not a imaging, polished mirror
Yeah, the info was taken from a post at another forum. So I question the accuracy of the info. Which is why I asked here. So aluminum is my best bet? Know of any solid substances that is "transparent" to UVC light?

Finally, since every university library has these answers in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, you probably are working without adequate instruction and supervision and may seriously injure yourself by pursuing this project without experienced guidance, which I am not. Why you would consider Internet advice on a project this dangerous to your health is beyond me.
Although I've worked around arc welding and plasma cutting, I suspect that this would be well beyond such. So thanks for the advice and warning, it is much appreciated. I'll will be buying that book you recommend.
