my husband post cataract. Is there a glare from this light.

No there isn't. My dad has very progressed Macular Degeneration and cannot tolerate glare. The lamps have a glare shield and we bought a special low wattage high yield light bulb made by GE. Sorry I cannot remember the name but the combination really worked. Dad loves the lamps and we bought two. One for his den and one for his office.

Hmm I don't have a problem with glare but I have the lamp light pointed straight up to the ceiling

It has a diffuser at the base of the shade, so no glare. The light is very even.

Agree that it's probably not the magnification they say it is. My issue is that the light is not strong enough.

I've not experienced a problem with glare. My tv is next to a window but angled at approximately 45 degrees away from the windo.

You do get "Flare" when you look at a bright light. There is no permanent damage that I have noticed.

I got the 71F about a month ago and the glare is not an issue. Don't get me wrong, if you position lights badly or the sun hits directly you'll get the glare on any set. Once you power it up the quality of this set will blow you away. My only wish is that I bought the set sooner....

I don't really have a glare issue, so not sure BUT, at night, the lights from cars seem to be more diffused, yet more spread out. That is, there is more lighted area in the window, as if the adhesive spreads out the light to a bigger surface area than if it was just the plain glass, but the light is softer. Hope this helps.

It is dark and you can't see in unless a light is on. It does cut down on the glare from the sun.

Same as the answer above regarding glare. Have had the set for about 6 weeks now. Very pleased.

I agree the light is not bright enough for a lot of applications, I moved the subject closer to the light, finally broke down and just started using a speedlite rather than this overhead light bar. You might try using a lens hood on the camera to eliminate the glare. I can't say that I ever got a glare line on the background, and I used many, many combinations of additional lights to get good results.

My husband only wears them at night. I think he wore them once in the day and they cut down on the glare.

There is minimum reflection on this tv screen. The Plasma sets we looked at were VERY reflective - almost mirror like. I guess I would say this is none glare (or very little glare).

Ours is positioned to the side if the windows so there is nothing to compare that to, but we seem to not be getting any glare off of the side windows. Hope this helps.

A lamp near by will cause a glare..i use mine in the finished cellar with recessed lighting...no glare.

When my grandson thought his light wasn't working I discovered that the lens was not aligned properly and thus was hiding the light. A small twist and there was light This may not be your problem but it's worth checking

Shauna, Only if you stare directly at the light for a prolong period of time. There is a switch that makes it go from max brightness to normal brightness. It isn't adjustable so you have only 2 settings. I personaly did not have any type of issue with the brightness causing any pain for my eyes.
