Some info about the area and maybe some pics would give us a clue about how to advise you. Don't know if it's the size of a closet or a tennis court or how much head room you have.

I'd get at least 1000' of panda film, 30 blurple 1000w Led lights, 200 hempie buckets. That's where I'd start.

I wish you well
My experience with Panda was not fond
It creates to much heat for the reflective value for my area

Thanks for the heads up will keep check on temp. The room seems to be cooler after the panda, but I will keep check thanks again.

Panda film itself doesn't generate any heat. It bounces back about 95% of the light that hits it so you get the most out of your light but that won't make things warmer. I would have preferred using panda film on the walls in my grow room but they are OSB over concrete underground and cooler than the warm moist air in there so moisture would get trapped behind the film and mould would grow for sure under it. Had to paint that corner instead but after 20 years growing in there I finally got it done last week. Just the corner where the plants sit tho and the rest of the room will get done when I finally decide to sell this place and clear the room out.
So much whiter than the old paint but those strips from removing the shelving that was in there when I bought the place took 10 coats to cover and I can still make them out dammit!

I'm was going to use the black side to block out light on my windows. Should I install it white side facing outside instead?Panda film itself doesn't generate any heat.

If the sun hit those windows then you'd want the white side out for sure unless it's winter and the room could use the extra heat. Won't look strange to your neighbours if you cover the windows like that will it?

Alright cool thanks & no i don't think so I have pulldown shades over the window already, so the film shouldn't be visible. The film will be a second layer to block the edges the shades don't currently cover. You just can't get a perfect blackout shade that fits the window flush & also looks nice.If the sun hit those windows then you'd want the white side out for sure unless it's winter and the room could use the extra heat.
