mylar is that heat resistant? never would have guessed.
Yeah I wouldn't either. I tested with a piece I got from tap plastics, luckily there were some crinkles and dents in the piece and he said he'd give me the piece because he couldn't sell it (no problem!), and I glued it inside my spider reflector which kept it about 3 inches from a 250w bulb, and over those 3 days didn't see so much as a distortion or char mark from the heat. My guess is that the thinness also helps by having the heat get pulled away by the aluminum. I'm not exactly sure on this, but it seemed to work
We'll see how well it works with a more enclosed fixture (the spider was quite open to the air). Eitherway I wouldn't put any bets if you used 400w bulbs.
And to further add what Gresham said, technically speaking just making a product I believe is a patent violation, I'm sure PGS could send a cease and desist order to me on my reflector but not sure how well that'd hold up.
