i'll try that but as it is, the only place there isn't foil is pretty much directly around the lamp, i don't want the foil touching the lamp, If I weren't planning on getting a better enclosure soon i'd just try doing some wood or plastic cutting. Just odd how I'm seeing the same setups getting >60% but i'm not even tapping 40%.
