Polished reflectors...
Hello,
Has anyone read anything about the use of polished stainless steel for reflectors? I can't find any articles regarding its efficiency in reflecting light.
I have an old polished stainless steel incandescent canopy from the 70's and this material looks like a good alternate for polished aluminum. I called around a few shops in vancouver and thin gauge (24ga) polished stainless sheets are only about 2-3$ per square foot (depending on quantity), it's readily available and doesn't oxidize/pit as easily as alumninum.
If you have read any articles on this please share.
TIA
Clint
