Would putting mylar inside of a reflector improve reflection for an aluminum reflector such as this:

Rite-Lite 8 1/2" Clamp Light

Or would the difference be negligible?

I'd say no, could infact create hot spots if mylar wasnt flat. Anyway the reflector is reflective as thats whats it is a reflector so no need for mylar dude.

The reflective in my tent isn't flat, it's textured and I'm still trying to find one of these "hot spots"

I just think if you do it carefully you might get good results... oh yeah 99% of bibles are wrong... look at Christianity for example

Looks like me from the pic that its allready a refective aluminium surface so it'd be hard to better but the choice is yours

Sounds like it's not worth the effort. Thanks a lot!
