does this block out some sunlight? At the very least, dulls the sun a little. If it doesn't, then it's a total waste for me. Thanks

Yes it does a pretty good job. I have this set up as a divider in a studio between my bed and large set of windows only covered by office metal blinds and even though the sun shines through in the morning this stops it from being that annoying.

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.

It would work great as a privacy screen. You might be able to see shadows through it but that's all. It really does block almost all the sun. We use it on a screened in deck to block the afternoon sun.

No- it doesn't. I've been using it religiously and so far, nothing. IF you purchase it- I do hope you have better luck than me. This isn't working on my sun damage at all.

I used this filter to photograph the partial solar eclipse on 10/23/2014, see my pictures in the reviews of this filter. I found the filter worked well when shooting through the clouds but it was not dark enough when the sky was cloudless. I will try stacking 2 of these filters for future use. When shooting the Sun with this filter DO NOT LOOK THROUGH THE VIEWFINDER!!! Though dark this filter does not block any of the IR light that will burn your retinas. You must use the live view screen for composition.

It seems to block light pretty well overall. Sometimes there is a little that creeps in on the bottom, but usually it is just a matter of pulling the mask down a little bit more so that it is sitting right. I can't promise perfection, but I haven't found anything better yet.

It blocks about 20 of visible light, and blocks a whole lot of heat. The amount of heat reduction is makes it all worth it.. My couch is right in front of a all day daylight window and its the difference between being able to sit on it at noon now vs it being a stove top burner.

You would have to ask the manufacturer. They claim to block the UV rays but I am no expert and certainly not the right person to answer this for you. I would hope that they were not falsely advertising that feature, but I am going to assume at the very least that they help regardless.

It blocked the sun. I used it as an animal shelter and it kept rain and sun off the animals. With sides it gets humid and warm, but it is a nice shade.

It's heavy paper so it blocks out direct sun, however, it does let defused light in. It is not a blackout shade. One of the reasons I got it is I have plants that can not take direct sun, they'll burn, but they do need light, this shade is perfect.

It is an excellent diffuser of sunlight but not an absolute blocker. I think it should sufficiently reduce the glare from sunlight.

It blocks out light very well. The only thing is, if you have cats, do not buy this. Our cats tore it up. but yes, it does block out light really well if you zip up both sides.

I don't know if you received my reply (computer doing weird things) so I'm sending a reply again. Sorry if I'm duplicating. I have 2 of these, one for the front window and one for the back. I use them in the summer to help block out the sun. If I had my dog in the car and went to the store, I would use them to help block out the sun (and cracked the windows of course). But they work great for keeping off snow and ice, and for blocking out the sun. Again, I use them year round. Hope this helps answer your question. :-)

The slats on this screen are close enough together to block a lot of sunlight, but not all. Hope this helps.

Yes, it blocks out the light. However if your puppy is like mine and can pulls the cover in the kennel he will shred it to pieces in a matter of seconds. It is a very light fabric that they can rip up.

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.

I bought the golden/beige one and I use it to block the western sun. I really can't see anything through it in the daytime. I imagine if you and a light were behind it, it would probably show images/shadows.

It's not see through. Completely blocks the sun, but does have ties so you can lift it up.
