Would I benefit From A Reflector?

[kdspecial]

would I benifit By Getting a Reflector?

This is My cab (For Vegging), Should I look into getting some sort of top reflector For these lights? I have the White plastic you buy from the grow shop above the lights, But Could I benifit from somthing diffrent?

I was thinking about Tin Aluminum baking Trays. I would cut a hole in the middle of them and place them above the light. But I herd Aluminum can be harmful as it can reflect the light and burn the plant.(the shinny side)
the tin Trays are not shinny But will this even help me out compared to the setup I already have? Or will it be non benificial for my setup.

I think they may create more heat. But I can handle more heat if I get more lummes reflected towards the plant.

I plan to add more lights as I need them too. These plants are 8 days old from sprout.

any help is greatly appreciated.

i know aluminium foil creates hot spots and can burn holes in ur plant so ya u prob dont wanna use that...usually grow shops will have professional reflectors for light to be put in...id recommend that

You're not going to burn your plants with floros and tin plate reflectors. I would glue a metal strap across the flat part of the plastic base of the floro. (using jb weld or high temp silicone) This would make an attachment point for a homemade reflector.
