Description
Even, hotspot-free reflection with a fully light-tight backing
Lightite Blackout Diamond Reflective Sheeting pairs a diamond-embossed silver face with a total blackout backing layer, so you get the wide light spread of diamond mylar with zero risk of light bleeding through the sheet. The textured face scatters photons across the canopy instead of throwing them back as a bright core and dim corners, and because the reverse is fully opaque it works as a room divider, window liner or partition without a second layer behind it. Made in the UK by Easy Grow, Diamond Lightite is a five-layer, 125 micron sheet with a PET-coated membrane that adds strength and resists creasing, and it reflects heat as well as light to help control heat loss from the grow space.
Key Benefits
- Diamond-embossed silver face diffuses light evenly and kills the hotspots a flat mirror finish creates
- Blackout backing blocks light passing through the sheet, doubling it as a partition or window liner
- More uniform canopy coverage to reduce the shaded, low-light patches behind weak, leggy growth
- Tear-resistant, wipe-clean finish that stands up to repeated stapling and cleaning
- Five-layer, 125 micron construction with a PET-coated membrane for strength and fewer creases
- Reflects heat as well as light for better control of grow room temperature
- Washable and safe with a 5% bleach solution, and Easy Grow say the surface helps stop mould and algae growth
Uneven light and stray leaks in the flowering room
Flat mirror-finish film reflects light as a hotspot directly under the fitting while the edges of the space stay dim, leaving plants at the perimeter to stretch and lag behind. The diamond texture breaks reflected light into a uniform spread so edge plants sit closer to the intensity of those in the centre, and the blackout reverse stops light leaks ruining a dark period when the sheet is used to divide a shared room.
How to Use
- Measure and cut to fit the wall, ceiling or tent frame, leaving a small overlap at every join
- Fix in place with a staple gun or strong tape, diamond silver face toward the grow space – aluminium tape suits temporary set-ups, staples permanent rooms
- Overlap and tape all seams to keep a continuous reflective, light-tight surface
- Wipe the embossed face down occasionally to keep reflectivity at its best – a 5% bleach solution is safe to use

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it block my phone or Wi-Fi signal?
It can. Lightite contains layers of pure aluminium, and Easy Grow warn that lined areas can block or severely weaken mobile phone, radio and wireless broadband signals – worth planning for if you run Wi-Fi controllers or cameras inside.
How should I join the sheets?
Overlap every join and seal the seams with aluminium foil tape or reinforced metal tape for a continuous, light-tight surface; staples suit permanent rooms. Any gap leaks light and loses reflection.
Can I clean it?
Yes. The foil is washable, and Easy Grow confirm it is safe to clean with a 5% bleach solution.
Why a diamond pattern rather than flat mylar?
The raised diamond pattern diffuses reflected light instead of mirroring it back as a hotspot, spreading it more evenly over the canopy so the light can sit closer to the plants.
