when it comes to light reflectors is there any differences between a
smooth polished surface or what is called a hammered surface? and does it affect light output?
 
I'm sure the hammered surface is better. I'm sure I read that anyway:).
 
i believe the "hammered" surface eliminates hot-spots.
it also de-fuses the light, (not sure that`s spelt correct)...
"Mylar" is the best material, for it`s reflective properties, and i hear it`s pretty cheap over the pond.
 
It is a debatable issue. Unless you have a light meter you'll never know. Hammered works 4 me
 
The hammered surface is for the same reason they dont use a mirrored surface, refracted light is better than reflected light.
