Just through an ad I saw last week regarding white tents specifically for LED lighting. Apparently provides better spread and coverage. Anyone got one that could confirm whether it’s a better one for LEDs?

I cover one once in White, and I think BudLightYear has one as well.

I have a Homebox which is white and an ACIninity which is silver.
Can't say I've noticed any difference in practice but the Homebox is 80*80 and the ACInfinity was 60*60 so it's really hard to tell. I find the material is canvas like and I'm imagining it's "sweaty" but I'm suffering very high RH at the moment and it's probably just an illusion.
Not much help I appreciate.

I have the bud box pro in white mate. But I can not confirm wether it’s better coverage from LEDs because I simply do not know how too? it does seem a lot brighter in white that silver though

This is in no way 'definitive proof' on which is better in terms of reflectivity, but I remember watching this video years ago which compares 'the most common reflective finishes used in grow rooms' and a good starting point to perhaps look into further for those interested ;
Results from this particular test ;
Test results for HPS setup (LED is very similar)
Quantume (PPFD) sensor reading for the following setup:
No walls: 640 PPFD
Wooden wall: 680 PPFD (5% increase)
Matt white wall: 750 PPFD (20% increase)
White mylar wall (same as gloss white paint): 750 PPFD (20% increase)
Silver Mylar (generic): 800 PPFD (27% increase)
Silver Mylar diamond pattern: 800 PPFD (27% increase)
Grow tent lining Lighthouse tent: 840 PPFD (33% increase)

I have tested a significant improvement in LUX and Par when adding reflective materials. The more coverage the better the readings. But never tested white vs mylar. I imagine there are many different quality whites just like different quality mylar. Still have trouble believing I could get a better reading on white vs a decent mylar. Makes me want to run a test .

You can get A roll of Plastic and line your tent or make lining for A homemade box. This roll is white on one side and black on the other. Black side is great for blocking out sun from windows.

I have just got a BudBox Pro White Grow Tent 150cm x 150cm x 220cm to go with a ZEUS 600W PRO 2.9 Light, after searching around the net for a good week.
The white tent was recommended for led lighting as can give a 30% better spread and coverage, which i found was confirmed in many differant places.
Im hoping it is true as the white version was £40 more than the silver version. (it does look better in white tho)
