How important is reflective material on the walls when you have a butt load of light?

So, here is the situation, i had a tent inside of a 8wx8wx9t room that i built. Its insulated and mostly dry walled. The tent is out of the room and is now the mother/veg/clone room. So i have the room all to myself for flowering. (before i did it all in the one room with the tent for flowering) The celing just has plastic with a ton of insulation above it. I realy should dry wall the celing but its a pain in the ass. Two of the walls in the room are concrete, the other two are framed and insulated. To do it right, i would dry wall the celing, dry wall the two concrete walls, and paint them white. but, i would love to take a short cut and just see what happens without. My next go round will have 4 plants, and 1 600 watt light systems for each plant. Do i really need to worry about reflecting light?

FUCK NO!!! You got plenty of light, brah!

nice. thats the kind of answer i wanna hear lol. I hate to install drywall, but im also love a clean pro looking setup. So much less work not fu**ing with it.

I wouldn't worry about reflecting light with that set-up more worried about keeping all those lights far enough away from my plants to prevent nute burns and the air-flow required to cool those...not to mention electricity bill

I have two can fan 6ho cooling each set of two independently. You can hold your hand on the glass of the reflectors. My last harvest i had them about 10" off the canopy. The problem with that is that the sides of the plants did not get good light, which is why i am adding two more. Now that i am done with the tent i will be able to raise the lighs more and get a better spread. These plants i am growing are way wider then they are tall, and each one really needs its own ligh a few feet up to hit the whole plant. Electricity is a concern, but the ROI on the money spent on electricity is like 1 minute lol. I like to give my plants plenty of light.
