The math is meaningless.

Even Mylar @ AN 'ALLEDGED' 98% relfective rate is uselss if its not properly laid flat against the surfaces. It will have dark spots that eat light.

White plastic is great as well as long as the surface is flat you will get up to 86% reflection.

Personally I prefer white as it causes a 'diffusion' of light as opposed to a direct reflection like you get with Mylar.

Your calculations need to contain footnotes that all mathematical equations are based upon proper setup, install and relative FLAT surfacing of your materials.

Mylar may be 98% reflective, but NOT if improperly hung. Same with white.
HARDDON Reviewed by HARDDON on . Heres one to stump some...Zandor and Knowm...need help Ok guys...i am doing a little research and no one in the regular chat rooms can help me so here it goes... If you look up mylar on the internet...it is just plain ol plastic film...and guess what...i work where i make plastic....but we do not make reflective plastic such as the mylar you are all used to using...so here is the question... If someone is able to use flat white paint as a reflector...(i know its not a great one) but it is still a reflector...and is kinda low on cash...would white Rating: 5
