Luxx - Mylar Reflective Sheeting (70mu)

Luxx Mylar Reflective Sheeting (70mu) — 97% Reflectivity for DIY Grow Rooms on a Budget

Best for: Growers building a custom growing space or upgrading lighting efficiency without buying a full tent or extra lamps

Luxx Mylar Reflective Sheeting is silver-coated mylar film supplied in roll form, designed to bounce light back towards your canopy instead of letting it vanish into walls and ceilings. At 70 microns thick with up to 97% reflectivity, it's one of the most efficient ways to improve your growing space without spending a fortune on extra lighting or a full tent setup. It's durable, waterproof, washable, and cuts to fit any space — whether you're lining a shed, a corner, or building a temporary propagation area.

How it compares

Reflective sheeting sits in a spectrum. Here's where Luxx sits:

• vs. white paint: Paint is cheaper but reflects unevenly and creates hotspots. This reflects consistently across the whole surface.
• vs. panda film: Panda film (black/white poly) is more durable and slightly cheaper, but reflectivity tops out around 75-90%. This hits 97%.
• vs. diamond foil: Diamond patterns scatter light better to avoid hotspots, but cost more. Standard mylar is flatter, reflectivity-focused, and better value.
• vs. orca film: Orca is premium — superior durability and light scatter — but at 2-3x the price. This does the job properly for everyday growing.

In plain terms: highest reflectivity per pound spent, solid durability, flexible sizing.

Usage guidance

Mylar works across different growing setups:

Lining a grow space
Cut to size and attach to walls, ceilings, or floors using tape or similar fasteners. Keep it as flat as possible — creases reduce reflectivity. Works best when covering the entire interior of your space.

Tent alternative
Use this as the reflective lining for a DIY frame or wooden box setup. Creates a light-tight, reflective chamber without buying a branded tent.

Partial upgrades
If you've got a propagation corner, a shelf unit, or a space that just doesn't get enough light, line it with mylar to bounce more lumens onto your plants.

Hydroponics and systems
Waterproof and washable, so it holds up in humid setups with misting or drip systems. Easy to clean when salt deposits build up.

What to expect
Lining a growing space with reflective sheeting can boost light exposure by up to 30%. You're not replacing your lighting, you're making it work harder. Every lumen that hits the mylar bounces back to your plants instead of heating your walls.

Technical specifications

• Material: Silver-coated mylar film
• Thickness: 70 microns (70mu)
• Reflectivity: Up to 97%
• Roll lengths available: 10m, 30m, 50m, 100m
• Width: Standard horticultural width (approx. 1.2-1.4m)
• Durability: Waterproof and washable
• Installation: Supplied in roll form; cut to size; attach with tape or fasteners

Who this is for

• DIY growers building a custom growing space from scratch
• Budget-conscious growers who want to upgrade lighting efficiency without replacing lamps
• Anyone running a tent or shed setup who wants to maximise light bounce
• Hydroponic and propagation systems where reflectivity matters
• Growers with multiple small areas that need reflective coverage
• First-time growers looking for affordable space-building materials

Particularly suited to growers who understand that light efficiency is cheap efficiency — you get more output from the same input by bouncing light smarter.

Our take

This is proper reflective material at a price that makes sense. 97% reflectivity puts it at the top of the standard mylar range, and the 70 micron thickness gives you durability without the premium cost of specialist films. It's straightforward to work with, holds up in humid environments, and does exactly what reflective sheeting should do.

If you're building a growing space on a budget or want to squeeze more efficiency out of the lighting you've already got, this is worth picking up. Good time to buy while clearance stock lasts.
