is having a grow tent with a 600watt hps bulb in an uninsulated attic asking for trouble?

its a secret jardin dr120 tent which im pretty sure is lined with mylar.

will this show up like a beacon on a ir camera??

cheers man, i had read a few posts on here where folk were saying that using a loft was a bad idea but i wasnt sure what kinda set up they were using. didnt think one 600w lamp would give off much heat but thought id better check.

If you're worried a cheap fix is that foil covered bubblewrap B&Q sell - get a few rolls and staple it to the roof rafters to make a "tin-hat" over the tent.
