I am making a sconce and need a film to diffuse the light so you don't see the bulb. Is this heat resistant and opaque-ly transparent?

It should work, if worry about heat transfer if the bulb is to close unless it led or cfl.

You can't see through it - it should be ok as long as it does not touch the heater but I would check with the mfg

It is very clear, transparent, like glass. Not opaque (my old cat door was probably what you call opaque, like a haze or film over it; this is definitely clear in comparison).

Yeah, it's got a bumpy surface, so it's not clear enough to see thru clearly. But it's not frosted, if that's what you mean. I have them in my kitchen to keep the hot air from flowing up into the attic.

Light will come through somewhat, but it is diffuse. This is more of a privacy screen, and light will also show over the top, especially if you have an overhead light.

Don't know. My bulb is used in a bathroom fixture. Does it match visibly the bulb it is replacing? The quartz bulbs are very heat resistant. Don't touch them with your hands because the oils in your hand may cause them to fail rather spectacularly.

You want a shade that allows air flow to the bulb. This light doesn't get as hot as an incandescent bulb, but it does generate heat and that heat can damage the electronics if it's in a completely closed fixture.

Yes. Light is able to pass through the film so it isn't really necessary that one be close to see through the window.

I was quite satisfied with this film, but on its own it is not enough to provide privacy for a window. I used it on some glass cabinet doors that we store DVDs in, and I definitely can see through it to some degree. Used in combination with your frosted glass, however, it might be adequate. The big home improvement stores sell window film that is specifically for your purpose. It's more expensive but perhaps worth checking out.

The bulb can work anywhere and would look fine in a sconce. The light would be directional. And I would still say to put invisible tape on the lens to blend the colors.

I don't notice that they give off a lot of heat. We have them in our glass globe pendant lights over our kitchen island and another set in our sconces in our family room (up high.) Not sure I would notice the heat factor based on the location but I think they are actually more subdued than regular bulbs. They cast a really nice yellow/goldish hue.

The glass is clear but textured, so the light bulb is not visible, like it would be through a flat clear piece of glass.

no it is NOT transparent.... it is reasonably thick rice paper--- I LOVE IT... great room divider and privacy---- I have a very large bathroom-- almost make the room 2 rooms-- use it to have a nook for the camode/like very private sitting area.... I HIGHLY recommend this one,, for the privacy and looks it provides... thanks for asking-- did not mind recommending this one. again I love mine...

It is totally opaque. We are using it as a divider to a loft where we have a guest in our house, and she feels secure that no one could see through the divider to her. We are VERY happy with this divider.

it is not! it does let light thru nicely but it is certainly opaque enough!

Yes it is clear. Better than the frosted that you would get from homedepot. With a clear glass you get more light. Use a flourescent bulb vs incandescent or halogen. You can use a higher wattage bulb cause they do not produce the heat that the others do. Yes the glass can be removed so you can paint the trim. I always use these trims on my shower lighting jobs

You cannot see through it. I have it in front of a window to shade from morning sun. It's very light weight wood and some sort of paper. I wouldn't put it in front of a heater.
