If used on a patio sliding door, will it block all vision from those on the outside seeing in, if the room inside is well lit?

Not "all" vision, but someone would have to press their face to the glass to see shadows of the inside.

Yes, that would work. While I do not find it too bright at all (maybe half as bright as an iphone screen), I do think that covering part of it with masking tape or (even better) electrical tape would decrease the light output.

Should work okay but, seems like there's a 10 foot max distance for illumination. Suggest you use two if it's an outside corner to cover both sides, but one may be enough for inside corner. Haven't yet determined if I should use more than one at front door with 2 inside corners. That and how to fasten it to bricks.

No protection required. The whole idea is for the light to come in through your eyes. Its not for tanning. This helps with seasonal changes and lack of sunshine in the environment. You don't have to stare at the light but it should be close enough that you glance into it frequently.

I would say yes...it blocks out view very well to create separations or privacy

Yes. I think it would block MOST of the light, but probably not a complete black-out. After all - it's not a solid piece, but louvred. Good luck.

It is going to show light through it but it is heavily diffused. I put this up to block sunrays that come in at an odd angle blinding us. Now my hall window still provides nice soft light but is a fraction of the brightness and keeps temps down.

Yes, but you will loose the eye guard with built in light, unless you get creative.

Yes . . . It's designed for a swinging gate or door and will NOT work on a sliding door. Perfect for a pool area door.

We used it to cover our skylights. It isn't reflective but I guess you could make a shade out of it if you were an experienced seamstress or tailor. It would block bright light like one of those pull down shades you see at many restaurants.

It dims the light. However if your wanting a total non see thru shade. This isn't it. If your a seamstress or know one. You could have an outdoor fabric attached to the inside view. And that would solve privacy issue. A solid color close to the shade color would be nice. Hope this helps ya out :-)It is The Best by far @ blocking out the sun... Couldn't sit on screen porch in afternoon before purchasing 2 of these.

It's one way as far as not being able to see through it into the house. But when it's dark outside and the light is on indoor, you can see the hinge in light produced by the shadow of whoever is looking through the peephole. It is only a slight variation, but enough to know someone is looking through. This doesn't happen in the day.

While the Coolaroo does an outstanding job of knocking down direct sun rays, I would suggest that it will, at night, distort inside images somewhat from outside views. It will not provide a high degree of privacy. Our shades are made of a woven material that I would rate a medium tight in the weave. Thus, in the day, from inside the lanai, I can see images outside with moderate distortion.

It blocks out some light, probably not enough to sleep with lights on though.

I only have one sliding glass door, and it's under a patio canopy so it's in the shade and that room is pretty cool these days. Sorry. We noticed a huge difference in keeping the summer heat OUT, but haven't had enough winter cold yet here in the Phoenix area to judge how well the heat stays in (still have not turned the heater on for the winter, but we hear that is normal for this area).

The light is quite bright and will light up an entire room. I can't say if it would help with vision problems.
