Is this the Blackout, or the Budget Blackout (lighter weight)? See: roc-lon.com/products/3pass_blackout_l...

This is the only blackout material I purchase so it's impossible for me to compare. Heavyweight, almost velvety feel to the touch. This fabric works better than any room darkening store bought drape.

3Amps only refers to the amount of power it *can* provide. You need to have a power supply that can provide as many, or more, amps than the lights use, so more power at the power supply is a good thing.

Again, for me is good but not the best. Right now, I do have problem with two of the 4 cameras since for time to time they enter into a blackout mode. So, I do suggest that if you are looking for a really best wireless solution, must go with something more expensive. For me is working since I don't need a 24/7 system but I would like to get it some time in the future since I paid for that.

I had the same issue, I returned the light, even after getting it perfect it has obvious power management issues, it works for a couple of minutes then shut off, I advise you to return it and opt for the Probuilt T2600.....awesome, or for a bit more you will be thrilled with the X21R from LED LENSER...either one will blow your mind!!!

The cheapest? Doubtful. After acquiring two different cheap units and returning them. This was a good option. Well worth the few dollars more!

I just received a pair today and used a color spectrum test image (and I'd tried others as well). Here's a link to it if you're interested. https://www.paleohacks.com/sleep/will-plain-red-or-orange-lenses-block-blue-light-for-sleep-17104 These were the only glasses that showed true blue blocking. I'm thrilled as I spend way too many hours under fluorescent lighting and in front of a computer screen. At my my age I couldn't care less whether they're stylish or not. I do like the S1933X though, better for comfort... lightweight.

I believe the progray is what you want. I have the progray and it is simply amazing! I was using blackout cloth and there is no comparison. On Carl's site he breaks down which screen is best for what situation. I am truly impressed by my selection, it is a High quality screen. Best investment I made apart from my projector. Will definitely see Carl again if the need arises.Good luck

By your question I can't tell what the 'cheaper one listed by you at this link' actually is...there is no link to it...just a link to Amazon. If you could let me know what that other one was I might be able to explain what differences there are. With that in mind...I bought this one because of the durability of this particular unit. I did some research and this one had a much lower failure rate and is supposed to last much longer than most of the others.

The unit doesn't simply see into darkness: it still has to have some kind of light reflected back to it in order to see anything. That's where those little dots around the camera lens come in. They're infrared lamps, and they're really nothing more than little flashlights, except they're sending out a wavelength of light we can't see with the naked eye. Take the best, most expensive night-vision goggles used by any of the top military units in the world, and they won't see a thing in the dark without their accompanying infrared lamps. Take another look at the lamps around the lens on the baby unit - they're incredibly tiny and not very powerful (the MBP20 is a pretty bare-bones model, after all, despite all the touted features). Picture a very tiny, weak, regular flashlight and imagine the feeble light THAT would put out in a dark room, and you'll understand why Motorola had to put four of the IR lamps around the lens instead of just one. So that's the science. Now for the actual suggestions. Low-tech and cheap: Find a way to move the camera closer to where the action is. If you're trying to use the night vision feature then you're obviously trying to watch your child while they sleep, and the camera doesn't have to take in a wide field of vision. Just try to position it closer to the crib or bed. High-tech and relatively cheap: You can purchase an additional (and much more powerful) IR lamp for around $40 online, and you can also probably find one in your local sporting goods or home security stores. Your child will still be sleeping in total darkness, but the MBP20's infrared camera will be able to see much, much more. This won't make the video screen on the parent unit any larger, but it should maximize what you can see. Good luck! .

Can't really say which. I use it only for lights and they make no difference.

It's weak. I needed to get a hood attachment to shade it. Good at night though! LOLTomTom has very poor customer service, in my experience. My Rider 2 died in a download update and they would not help in any way

Decidedly better. I've been using an Omni-Bounce, Gary Fong Lightsphere, etc., but getting the flash up off the camera has made a big difference. Of course, you will need a cable or do as I did and spring for a set of Phottix remote flash triggers. :)

I bought two more expensive ones only last for two month's of live approx. The cheaper ones performed 100% better. I have 5 195W panels attached to 4 250W of this Grid tie Inv.I'll buy 4 more soon... Santiago

It just doesn't matter to me. If I want a product I will purchase it. I just don't like too cheap a stuff.Different strokes for different folks. I love my Opti. Its proven to do the work,that is it.Try something see which one works for you.

I would say some light is able to pass through the walls. They are an oxford material similar to a wind breaker. The top cover is heavier and coated with PVC so the top cover will probably keep most light out.

I'm not sure where you are looking that the luxx is 3x more. On the manufactures website the luxx is $299. This version is $199 and has 5000 pulses (according to the description). There is an upgrade kit for this one as well that allows you to add the 120,000 pulses later that is $100. So you might as well get the lower cost one and upgrade later.

It does better than comparable lumen models I have owned. The lighting location matters, I.e. if you turn on a lamp on the opposite wall you'll see very little change... but if you turn the overhead lights on near the screen it is considerably washed out. With my mini blinds closed in the middle of the day the picture is still very good. Short throw does matter I believe. Not sure if I'm saying this correctly but I believe the closer the source the less effect light pollution has on it. If your looking for a projector to use with over head halogen lighting you'll need a significantly higher lumen version. It does better than comparable lumen models I have owned.
