reflecting satellite

is it possible to use three satellite placed (roughly like the vertices of an equilateral triangle)around the earth to reflect the light from one half of the globe to another?
if this is possible then we may transport (sun)light frm say US and send it to india( coz we have a 12 hr time lag betn these countries)or vice versa. advantage is that we dont have to use street lights anymore. 24 hr sunlight!!
i know its a wild imagination but is it possible?

well that means u dont wanna sleep bcoz no nights in that case
but my dear it is not practically as easy as u think afterall the perfectly reflecting surface is a imagination and i think nothing can take the place of our dear sun. ur thought will increase global warming
i suggest u to think some thing for the betterment of the society.
rate if helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!
