temperature and lights

[kite70]

I just brought some refelective film,that dropped the temperature in my room

buy 5 degree's.The film reflects 90% of the heat.So rather everything in the

room absorbing the heat,the heat is reflected and gets blown right out the exhaust

fan.It also reflects 95% of the light.But the most amazing thing is that it reflects

the signal from infrared cameras.It cost me $12 a metre by 1.25m.Its called

ADF Foil,and its from Holland.The hydro shop guy said its just arrived and is being sold already in some shops in Sydney.Its really good shit.

Thanks for that information kite70 and welcome to Oz Stoners, I'll have to check out a couple of shops here in WA to see if they are stocking it yet, the exhaust will still need to be controlled where IR equipment is concerned though.

Hey kite70 - good to hear from ya on ozstoners...

 

That is very interesting a relective foil that reflects infared camera -will be looking into this a bit more, it would be good to pre line room with that and then put plasterboard over it.

 

Have got a friend who has a infared camera and believe me they are fucking good, you can see everything - people walking around, HID lights stand out light dogs balls.

 

Does the foil create hot spots on your plants? Ive had this problem with refective mylar and found just plain flat white paint to be best.

 

The local police chopper has a IR camera on it that has a duel fuctions, one is to find plants out in the bush by the heat signature they give off and lastly (which i believe is a illegal search) fly over suburbs looking for grow op, I know for a fact that they do this, and a layer of film over the room that could fix this prob would be aweson.

 

PS> for those who put there grow ops underground, the new IR camera can detect them up to 3m down, have seen it with my own eyes, very impressive.

Dudes,

 

The sticker on the film says www.dutch-glory.com.

My hydro store man,told me its a new company from Holland.

The foil is used all over Europe.

 

Cheers Kite

http://www.dutch-glory.com/ says its called "C3 ADF Anti-Detection Foil".

 

I'm already planning on rebuilding our cupboard next year, having learnt some lessons from the mistakes I've made so far, and I'd like to line it with a layer or two of this stuff.

it reflects the signal from infrared cameras

That sounds pretty good. Still pretty stupid how they spend money on IR's just to detect someone growing some healing herb

Yeah, looks like great stuff... mind you, there aren't terribly many police forces in australia which rely on IR technology from helicopters for crop spotting... Still, it's an interesting development, and I'll be very curious as to how well it does.

If I'm growing in a garden shed/lawnlocker with a flat roof, would placing one of those space blankets across the roof be enough to stop the cop chopper IR seeing the heat signature?.
