I need something to block street light glare in the evening, is this thick enough to do the trick or does it only reduce daylight?

I bought it for the same reason. It works great for blocking that irritating light shinning through the window.

It will reduce the glare but it won't block it out. If it were for a room I would be sleeping in, I want it dark so this alone would not work.

This shade filters a little bit but it's not really a room-darkening shade. At the price, I'd give it a try.

Definitely not. The slight magnification distorts your view more than help with glare. Do not use these for night driving.

Yes, the yellow plastic really does cut down night time glare from oncoming headlights. However the unit is brittle and you can hurt yourself manuevering it around. A better idea would be to find a piece of thin yellow plastic that would adhere to the inside of your windshield.

Only good for cutting the glare of headlights but way too dark. i just had a tiny hole cut out of tint for the cam that seems to work ok. can't do anything about the night glare.

Cathie, I don't think this is what you'd want to block out sunlight. This piece is very small, less than two inches, and I removed it again after only a couple of shots (not wearing glasses.) It does move the camera away from your face but would not block out sunlight.

We use it in our motorhome to block more sunlight in the morning. We put these up using little velcro tabs and remove the shades when we pack up or if we just want the windows open for a breeze.

NO. As far as I can tell, it does not reduce glare. It is super easy to apply without bubbles or dust if you follow the instructions (I don't know people complain about the difficulty of this!)

Nancy, We used this on a skylight to reduce possible damage to paintings hanging below. As far as I can tell, it doesn't cut down any light (or glare) as it is clear. Ted

It cuts light glare a lot, but not completely. It's like a pair of medium sunglasses, or tinted window in, say, the back of a mini van. I used it mainly to reduce fading. I'm not sure it would be enough if the sun is shining directly onto the face of the monitor, but it would darken the room significantly.

I believe so. We currently use it to hide storage items from view and it does a very nice job of that, you cannot see through the screen sections at all, so, I think it would block sunlight glares on a computer screen as well. It's truly a very nice addition to our office.

Not so much. It will eliminate most of the glare, but the brightness of the sun can still make it difficult to see the screen.

It doesnt reduce glare. It is hard to install without getting alot of bubbles in it. Also it took a really long time to get after I ordered

Yes. Not very well, but you can. I have this up on my porch and I'd say it filters out about 50% of the light. You can still see through them out into the parking lot, etc.

No...but it cuts the blazing sun a treat! Once the sun passes a certain point, I just roll it back up.Have plenty of other, (and more expensive) shades that allow light through...frankly, as my house is west facing I have not found these to be helpful. While you might be able to "see" through the screen, the glare is so great, not too mention how much heat still comes through.

It seems to block light pretty well overall. Sometimes there is a little that creeps in on the bottom, but usually it is just a matter of pulling the mask down a little bit more so that it is sitting right. I can't promise perfection, but I haven't found anything better yet.

Yes, it helps. It's good, too, when night road crews use krieg lights to work. I wouldn't say it's amazing, but it's like sunglasses. I bought this product two years ago and I have seen a similar product on TV promising more in the glare-blocking department. So do your homework. This is a good product; there may be better. (On the other hand, there may be more hype on other brands. This is solidly made and pretty good.)

Jon - Yes, all of our materials (other than rear projection film) block essentially all light from passing through. This material will work great for going over a window. Thanks!
