JakAHearts Cream of the Crop  More info | Jun 01, 2011 14:10 | #1 Anyone ever notice how much light actually passes through the black covers on umbrellas. Even my semi not cheap Westcott allows a ton of light through. I was thinking about trying to line it with a non trasnparent and reflective item and see if it improved the effeciency at all. Maybe tin foil? Anyone have a better idea aside from buying an einstein and not worrying about it anymore. Shane
