magnifying the light would be rocket science. Too much and you would vaporize it. That's why tin foil is bad along with mirrors. They concentrait the light and you get burn spots. To be more effective you need cool tubes and you can get them touching the plant. Can't get any more from a light than that.You would still need mylar reflctant. For some reason mylar or metalized plastic doesn't concentrait the light in one spot to burn. If you can't afford mylar. the back of metalized xmas paper is very cheap and works just as good
LOC NAR1958 Reviewed by LOC NAR1958 on . theory of magnifying light...??? One day i was sitting outside smoking a bowl with a magnifying glass and something came to me. Light is released in a concentrated, brighter beam when it is passed through the glass. I wondered if a custom made glass window with the right curvature, not as convexed as the magnifying glass, could increase the power of a light bulb. This means you can concentrate light directly on your plant. It would recieve almost all the lumens that the light emits. Basically light isnt lost; the plant Rating: 5
