Good idea to use mirrors?

Hey everyone, fellow pot heads! I got a plant growing in my closet which is 2X2X8. I was thinking about LST but then i thought why not place mirrors in the closet walls since its so small. Im thinking it should help distribute the light throughout the whole plant. Am i on the right track or no? Any hints would be great!!

Mirrors do not reflect as much as mylar (mylar reflects 90-95% of the light), white paint (80-85%) or aluminum foil (70-75%). That's all there is to it.

i dont recommend aluminum foil. It creates hot spots bad. Burned up my plant pretty good with that trick in the early stages...she recovered, but still slowed down the process...i guess i probably lost a week with that mistake...luckily thats all i lost. Also a friend of mine is growing in a bedroom...decent size room...put black bags over the windows so light wouldnt escape, then lined the bag with foil...from about 10 feet away from the light, he could feel the heat over at the window...i am in a closet and it gave me a microwave effect...temps near 100 and like i said...burned pretty bad. and my dimensions are 2x5x7...food for thought
