Does this shade provide enough privacy from neighbors with lights on at night time?

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.

No they do not. I still have to close my blinds. They are wonderful for heat from hot west sun.

When the light is behind it, you can see through it somewhat. I wouldn't get this for privacy.

I would say no I ended up getting screens that were made of pets and just doubled the screen in the window, didn't seem to block airflow to much and you can't really see in during the day, night time its the opposite you can see in as the light changes but I find that to be the case with almost any privacy DIY things I've tried ...good luck

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.

I sincerely doubt that it would. From what I can see the shade is for "security " in that it hides items being carried in the "trunk" area.

No it's. Not very bright. A high Watt bulb (I'm my opinion) would be scary with the shade. There's only one bulb socket on this one too!

I would think that it would. While you would still see the sunlight filtering through, it should be "thick" enough to help with glare. We have a nightlight behind the screen and it looks nice at night with the light behind...

Yes. Not very well, but you can. I have this up on my porch and I'd say it filters out about 50% of the light. You can still see through them out into the parking lot, etc.

It depends on where you were going to use it. If its the only light source in a large room then maybe not enough. Ours is abouve our bed and its enough. Without the shade im sure it would look fine with the right bulb.

No it does not. But the backup lights do illuminate the area enough where you can see at night.

No Richard. My experience is it will not do much to diffuse bright light at night. The product is very effective in blocking vision into the home in the daytime, but at night it is the reverse. It allows everything and everyone a clear sight line inside the home. If you want to completely keep light out of an area, I would suggest blackout curtains. I've use them for years because I am very UV sensitive and they block 95% of daytime light and 100% of night light. There are many styles, sizes and price options are very reasonable, they work, and they really help to reduce heating and cooling cost. Hope this helps. Elaine

Not at all. We even added curtains on two sides, to block the sun at certain times of the day, and it is lovely to be out there at any time. Love it.

People can see through this. It's designed to minimize sun light so it is transparent. I'm sure at night time it helps, but any light will help to see through it.

I feel it lets through a lot of the light. I only have two bulbs in my fan fixture. It's not super bright but it wasn't with my previous shade.

This mostly diffuses light and is good for privacy issues. So you still get quite a bit of light coming thru, tho not glare. At night, headlights are even more diffused, so the light is more 'spread out' than if it came thru the clear glass. You sort of end up with more light than without it - it's more spread out versus a more focused headlight. What it does best, is serve to give you privacy. You can't see in, you just see shadows and shapes. This is more for privacy than to reduce glare. But it does help with the glare some.

You can see the screen in the sun. The privacy protector doesn't work if the brightness is high. Hope this is helpful.
