Has anyone tried the new light reflecting paints?

If so are the worth the money only I have a darkish hallway and wondered if it would help I already have plans with mirrors and stripping off painted over glass around one of the doors....

I have Dulux light & space in a pale blue in my dining room, which is a pretty gloomy room with not much in the way of natural light. It has brightened the room although it replaced a dull wallpaper so it's hard to say if an 'ordinary' paint would have done just as well. But it does claim to relect twice as much light which i imagine has been tested to allow them to claim it. Also as far as i know it only comes in matt which seems odd as you would imagine a silk to better at reflecting light. I think you need to have realistic expectations, it can only reflect the light that is there to start with you won't suddenly have to start wearing sunglasses.

It's a sales ploy or gimic Rowan. Seems to be working tho.
We had a converstion about this stuff a few months ago.
Just use a good quality brand .. satin if you need to clean the walls .. or chalky/matt if youi want a period finish.
Stick a Big mirror up on one side with .. say, a non-chunky frame.
