Re: [APD] DIY reflector



Flat white wall paint reflects better than aluminum foil.  You can buy reflectors from AH Supply. Nothing else is as good as those. Hellolights.com might have some also.
 
A high quality aluminized mylar film will work sort of okay, provided it you can hold it up to bright light and not see through it.

Hi Mark,

Somewhere I read that shiny white (the pvc) actually reflects light better in the spectra that plants want than Al foil.  Should be a softer light too I would think - not as glarey.
