Using a mirror to light a room
Femi and an architect investigate how to increase the light levels in a room using mirrors. The room only has one window, and its interior is made up of objects which absorb most of the light from the window. They experiment with a mirror to reflect some of the sun's light onto the ceiling to increase the light in the room. They show this can be achieved successfully with angled window blinds.
