Dulux LumiTec Light and Space paint

My grow area was painted beige and I thought it would be better to paint it white. I was advised this would be easier than using ali foil/mylar/white plastic sheets.

At my local hardware store they had Dulux LumiTec paint on offer, still more than budget flat white paint, but now I have done my room I almost need sunglasses in there. It says twice as reflective as their standard paint, not sure I could quantify or measure it, but it is bright. Elsewhere it says that ordinary paint needs 20% more light to be as reflective.

at least it's better than what I had before, also comes in trade sizes for big rooms
 

GrowTech

stays relevant.
Nice stuff but honestly, having painted several rooms in my life... hanging up reflectives is just easier in my opinion... Staple gun them against the wall and you're done... beats the taping, reaching, etc...

My home is quite damp, I was warned I could get problems building up behind mylar or plastic sheeting. This seems to be quite good, but not up to 95% reflectivity.
