Default Mirror mounted on hood.

Hello,

I am farily new to the hobby and this question has probably been asked
before, but I shall ask it again. I just finished building a custom
canopy with two 96 PC light fixtures built in. Each light has its own
reflector and the canopy has a lid on the front that hinges back to
allow access for feeding and cleaning. The area directly beneath the
hinged top looses a little light. I was thinking of mounting a mirror
on the underside of the hinged portion of the canopy, thinking that
some light would reflect back down and might improve visibility. This
is not an issue of live rock doing well, just something that has been
irritating me as when my fish swim closer to the glass, they aren't
quite as visible. Just wanted to know if this was a dumb idea, or if
anyone had tried it.

Thanks in advance.
