Open Question

Do mirrors increase the light levels in a room, or simply reflect the same light level about more?

In absolute terms, the cannot increase the light levels. But perceptually, they do increase light levels because light which was "lost" by striking the walls is "recycled" to come from a different direction. They therefore provide backlighting to fill out the lighing pattern in the room.
