I am using it in my grow box, it seems to do well, but I had a very hard time of getting it to lay flat as fdd suggested, with all the folds it has in it.. I think it is contributing some to the heat, and it does not do a very good job at blocking the light, you can actually see the light behind it. After this grow, I will be pulling it off and just using flat white paint instead.

i used it with a 1000w HPS and got some crazy hot spots on my plants. i even had mine glued to a wood back board and still couldnt get it flat enough to not give me hot spots.
