Ever since I added mylar to my cabinet temps went up almost 20 degrees over night. This is going to be a problem. On overgrow it was said that if your cabinet is white it will reflect light just as well as mylar. My cabinet is a shiny white, should I just ditch the mylar?
If it was white from the get go, you may have not needed the mylar. I find light reflects good enough off of white to not need the mylar, but mylar is generally a bit better at reflecting. If it's a problem though, ditch it.
True, the difference in reflectivity between mylar and matt white paint is under 10% if i remember rightly.. if it aint broke etc
If $10 gives you 10% more light, fix it.

Well factor in the increase in temps and you have another thing in the equation to consider.Quote:

1:More Bud
2:Free Light
Also only certain types of paint will reflect even close to mylar keep that in mind also because basic white wall paint isnt even close.
