I think it is fine to use aluminum foil as a reflector, I used to do it when I bought regular housing that doesn't have reflectors at the home depot for grow lights. I cannot comment on it for the coil lights, but I know it works as a reflector.

You beat me to it Pigglett. :)

Yes, a but if tin foil will help get more rays down into the cage.

Does white paper not reflect better? Its my understanding that it does with light, but I have not exactly tested this, and would not know if it would apply to UV rays as well.
