if you have lights turned out & shine a flashlight against the backside, how much light can you see through it? Planning to use it as blackout curtain

I bought a blue one, and it is VERY see through. I am not sure about the black. Sorry!

I would buy an actual blackout curtain (cloth curtain) and not a shower curtain. The plastic allows some light to come through. Blackout curtains in the cloth curtain/home department would work much better and you can usually find some good deals. If you are planning to have blackout showers for some reason, I would double layer 2-3 of these vinyl shower curtains.

Well? How good are your eyes and what bulb do you plan to use? It is a wall mount light that I hung above my kitchen sink. I have a cfl 13 watt bulb, my eyes aren't 25 anymore but I can read my cookbook.

Dlee the glass is black/light, you can clearly see through the window. The lights go off/on during it's cook time so you will definitely be able to "see thru" the glass. This is a fantastic product I love it. Please feel free to ask other questions

It should give off a little bit more more light. I also replaced with clear and LED(?) lights and I think it helped. I wished I found one that came with 6-8 light bulbs for more lighting, but I needed one that is simple yet conservative/elegant, less frills... I'm still very happy with this purchase.

I have a shower curtain liner behind it because it's fabric. I think without the liner you would be able to see through it.

I am using a 3 way bulb, 50-100-150 which is plenty bright enough for reading (I mostly use the lowest wattage). The light does come through the pattern on the shade; however most of the light is directed downward while leaving a little escaping through the top. This creates an almost diffuse lighting effect as it bounces off of the ceiling. I'm sure if you use a high wattage, you'll get enough light to indirectly light the whole room.

I think that would work fine. I have it in my shower and with regular bath lighting it is not see-through.

though this sheet is fairly thick. If you have a light source behind it you will see through it

It lets light through completely. It's see through until your shower steam makes it hazy but the light isn't affected.

It does let some light through. It's papery, kind of like on those Chinese-style lanterns. You can't see through it at all though.

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.

more light would reflect back into the vehicle than would go out. turn on your overhead lights on a dark night and see how much less visibility those tiny things give you.

Honestly, this will not reduce light inside the room. If reducing light is your goal, a curtain/blind would be a better solution. This is just window film used to maintain privacy yet still allow light inside.

If you need 100% blackout I wouldn't recommend this. It will darken the panes in the door or window, but not to the point where they are completely opaque. Frosting or etching the glass (like in a shower door) would help, but may not block enough of the light. Good luck.

use a candelabra bulb, the picture makes it look like it has a shade over it but it doesnt. i hung it in my bedroom over my bed just for soft lighting.

I bought a black curtain to use as a liner. You can see shadows/outlines through it. The holes for the curtain rings are button hole stitched instead of having metal grommets.

Well David, that is a good question. I have a light meter, but not where I have this equipment. What would you like to use this to illuminate? I may be able to answer based on your application. The range of color is amazing and it has worked perfect for anything where I have used this item. I have been quite pleased and I was trying to imagine the brightest setting and I can say that the light this strip throws is quite impressive. Sorry I cannot be exact with the lumens but If I knew what you would be using this for I could tell you if it would work, possibly.
