Can anyone tell me if this darkens the room at all...and if so by how much? 10% or 20% or 30%...etc.? Thanks for any help you can lend!

I used this on my windows in my family room (lower level split), and it actually allowed more light into the room. This does not darken the room at all.

Maybe about 10 % I have on front sidelights! I love this, very nice looking.

I have French doors for every door in my house and use these for privacy. I don't think it would darken the room but hard for me to say based on how I use it.

No, we don't find that it darkens the room. It lets the light through, but adds privacy.
1747324
No. I actually got it for the opposite reason. I wanted to allow light into my place without sacrificing privacy and it does that quite effectively. If you are looking to darken a room, this is not what you are looking for.

Just a sidenote to backdrop comment...I LOVE mine and never had an issue. My advice is invest in lights with a shadow box...these are way too harsh.

They definitely don't make the room dark if you have a sheer curtain. I have a standard navy blue curtain with one and the room isn't pitch black but it blocks the light nicely. I don't think a white curtain would provide you much more than dimming the light.

Hi Tracy, Deneve here. Frankly, the light band was quite difficult for us to accurately capture in photos. The light band is unlike any lighting you'll see in any other essential oil diffuser on the market in our price range. The best we can describe it is that, yes, the light band emits bold, vivid colors. It is on the verge of being neon-like (our attempt at a nonexistent word!) when viewed directly. But because the light band is a thin strip, the overall ambient light intensity and brightness it gives off is actually somewhere between a bright hallway night-light with the brighter colors (yellow, green, sky blue), to subtly dark hues for the darker colors (e.g. dark blue, red), when viewed peripherally, e.g. lying in bed, looking away from the diffuser. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to helping you! And have a great weekend. Best Regards, Nancy Deneve - Co-Founder

Throw that out, it's part of the packaging. If you keep it on, the light reflection on the ceiling will be partially obscured. We did this accidentally!

I have the red color and I just held it up to a window. No - it does not block the sunlight. The black color would probably darken the room, but you would still see some light shining through the fabric.

Not very well. It's open a crack at the top bottom and side. When a light is on in one room it shines through to the next. We added a black out curtain to on side of it and that helped a lot.

Not that great in low light. You will need to light the room a little, try a red light or something to have an excuse for lighting :)

I wish I had some dark paste, because I have dark colored floors. I've been using the light paste on mine. But my guess is, unless you have serious scratches on your light floor, the dark paste shouldn't affect your color. It would only do that if there was a scratch to penetrate. Otherwise, it's just a wax finish

It's not as bright as a night light - it's just a gentle glow. I've put ours in the hallway. But if you put it in the bedroom opposite a window I would think it would absorb more light and maybe be brighter. Either way it's a lovely picture, really unusual and a definite talking point. Any visitors we have had have all commented upon it.Would I buy it / recommend buying it - Yes! In fact we have also bought the "Maple Tree" one for the lounge.Hope this helps. Gf.

This is a plant light and not a source of light for brightening up a room. I would not use this in a room that was occupied by anyone not wearing UV goggles. That said this is a blue light, best ballpark guess is 7000K plus.

Hi! I have these in a room with vanilla-colored walls, so it might influence my answer, but I have found they don't give a cold hospital light. I hope this helps!

It will make it slightly darker but not much. If you are looking for room darkening shades, then choose the silver or black versions - the silver one blocks about 75% of the light and the black one is a true blackout shade.

It's fairly dim lighting. The only thing I would say is that the light climbs all the way to the ceiling and that might be brighter in a small room. Hope that helps.

did anyone recognize a flicker like effect when you have a dark scene and it turns lighter? This has happened many times and am hoping it is a setting issue? It is really annoying. Appreciate any comments or recommendations.

I feel it dulls the sun. Like I said, light is still filtered through. It isn't harsh light, but it doesn't block out the sun.I may sound silly saying this, but take a dryer sheet or two and hold it up to the sunlight that you're hoping it dulls. I will most likely have that effect if you buy this. I have 2 of these up around my bed since I am sharing a room. I can say that I am not woken up by hard sunlight like I was before I got these.

I took a closer look at the deck after your response and I do see slight discoloration almost directly below the warming light. I am only using a 45 watt bulb so it is possible that a 60 watt might induce more. Regards,R. Davis
