Default 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
