Convex Mirror in Backyard to reflect sunlight onto the house

[QUOTE="Hadi, post: 6560116, member: 695725"] Thank you [USER=447632]@Baluncore[/USER] and [USER=324024]@Rive[/USER] From what you mentioned, it seems that my initial understanding that a convex mirror's reflected light area is wider than a regular mirror due to its bulging outwards is incorrect. Rather, i would get a much smaller reflected light area vs regular mirrors. Did I understand correctly? Here is a photo of the garden and the house, showing the doors as well as the pillars on which I plan to put the mirrors on a swivel. Thoughts? Shall I go drop the convex mirrors and focus on regular ones? And for the size, the reflection is always as big as the mirror itself, right? Lastly, for the heat reflection, if we go with regular mirrors, would the heat reflected to the house be more than that of the direct sunlight (like the other houses in the neighborhood that actually face the sunlight)? Did I misunderstand anything? Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
