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.

thanks for that...
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.
