Oh, BTW, if you compare the brightness in my little foil dance gif(all images were kept raw, unaltered), the reflected light off the regular aluminum foil is always at or above 97%(peak intensity) compared to bulb's own brightness. In certain instances it's brighter than the bulb due to the flanges reflecting addition light onto the back plane, and then to the camera. The foil was attached to the wood backing with Elmer's AP glue and a soft clothe to get it wrinkle-free and bubble-free. It pretty much looks like sheet aluminum.
I can conclusively state that aluminum foil is an excellent reflector from my own experiments with it. Which agrees with the hordes of scientists(my references include PhDs in their fields) that also conclusively state this.
I've also never had any issues with foil causing light burns to my plants.
Quod erat demonstrandum(QED) aka which was to be demonstrated.
