Is the skylight UV blocking?

I do not know for sure, but Per the Eplastics website The ePlastics OnLine Plexiglass acrylic plastic sheets including the Bronze and Gray acrylic solar control shades. - Note that the color, solar energy, and transmission values do NOT change with thickness.

I purchased the dark tinted skylight and strongly assume it does block some uv light. I have not tested it to be certain.

No. It uses some sort of special florescent bulbs available from the company. They are a special full spectrum, daylight bulb with a uv protecting coating.

Dear Amazon User, I installed clear, colorless UV blocking film from Gila on the bottom row of my french window (with 4 rows) because the light only came through the bottom row due to the overheng of my roofline. I found that I cannot see any difference in the coated windows versus the uncoated. It is quite undetectable. Ken in So Cal.

The specs say that is has UV protection however I am unsure how to tell exactly.

It blocks out the sun great- you may want to remove it in the evening if you need to look through that window for turning out on to a street street see if cars are coming, that's my only complaint: In low light situations before people put on their lights, it is tough to see through

Yes. There is a button on the top surface labeled UV. That button contols the uv light being on/off.

According to this window film manufacturer, UV light only accounts for 40% of fading, and most windows block 20-40% of UV just by being glass. This would slow fading, but not prevent it entirely. http://solarsolutionsny.com/fading.html

No I dont think it does. I think it is just the fabric itself that has some measure of UV protection. I have had some of these us for 5 or 6 summers now and they are holding up well - and the UV here in Albuquerque (mile high altitude) are intense. They block most, but not all, sunlight which would leave plenty to grow anything here, even say flowers.

Except for the one umbrella that's SUPPOSE to block sun, they're all translucent . . .so they will diffuse the sun, but not block it. The one umbrella that's opaque and called a "sun block" does shade, but because the shiny side is underneath, light is reflected back up into the face, so is not a good "sun blocker". If you can see the upper section of an umbrella from beneath (as shown in the picture to your left) it does not block the sun . . .only diffuses it.

I have 2 ambient lamps at the steps (facing the screen) and on the side walls, there is no glare caused on the screen. Unless someone is walking in front of the lights and create a silhouette on the screen, otherwise it is fine on mine. Not sure how it will be for you when it is at the back wall.

It does not completely block the sun as, for example, a solid canvas would. Bur it blocks a significant amount. My deck is very sunny, and the sun beats into my sliding glass doors in the afternoon, so I do use it to block the sun. It casts a strong shadow, but does not block all light. You would not get a tan under this umbrella. BTW. I have had it quite a while, and it has stood up to the weather very well. Looks and works like new, even after being blown off my deck by hurricane winds.

I don't recall but as far as I can tell from being inside I don't think many UV rays come through. It seems very shaded in the screen house.

I still have the box. I will see if I can find information. http://www.pegasuslighting.com/optivex-uv-filter.html look at this one

No, there is just enough light to be comfortable. Very adequate for blocking out the sun.

I don't think so...it is a mesh material, not total sunblock, like a black out curtain.

You have to take the top cover off, unplug it, and remove the 5 or 6 screws on the top which reveals a small panel. The UV light is under this panel.

Yes, but you have to cover everything with a towel to block the UV light inside.
