If you have a really small window, you can but remember the suction cups dont stay longer.

It might help a little bit but doesn't stretch out all that big. I also find that the suction cups pop off of the window occasionally... May not be ideal for waking a sleeping baby:)

I don't think so...it is a mesh material, not total sunblock, like a black out curtain.

no; you can just use under a lamp too or bright sunlight. That said, the LED light helps a lot.

This will definitely block people on the outside from seeing in the window, while allow you to see them at the same time. It will block some of the sunlight though during the daytime hours. However, when it is dark outside and you have a light on inside, the privacy you have is not as good.

The 2 windows that I covered with the adhesive are both in the shade. I wouldn't think that it would reduce the temperature in the room because this adhesive paper doesn't block light, it just blurs it.

I have the natural light shade. It doesn't block all light out like a blackout curtain. I do live on a corner street and have car headlights all the time. It does keep most of those lights dimmed at least.

We use it in our motorhome to block more sunlight in the morning. We put these up using little velcro tabs and remove the shades when we pack up or if we just want the windows open for a breeze.

With windows in the daytime you won't really be able to tell it's on. In the dark it will light shed well enough to find something, but not work by.

no this won't block out sunlight or shade the room. Check with Gilla brand for solar window film

It can be used in a partially lighted setting. My daughter has the bathroom light on and a nightlight. It doesn't affect the light. You can still see it very well.

Yes. I think it would block MOST of the light, but probably not a complete black-out. After all - it's not a solid piece, but louvred. Good luck.

I wouldn't suggest it be used for outside lighting. The glass is real fragile and the outside elements may be to harsh. You may be able to use for a sunroom or screened in porch.

You might have to cut it or wrap around sides. Depending on room it might put out too much light. You could always put a dimmer switch on it.

cannot see with normal 1 layer lights on. Unless less than 5 feet from it outside can see shadows inside but nothing in detail at all. Not the first time I used this product. I have also put a color patern down first and then put this over top of it. Had a really nice effect. Percentage of light, it still lets light in yes though not a clear vision through. As in the obstruction of view is equal on both inside and out. This product is good for use on door windows or small window panels that are next to doors. This isn't good for big windows, it works but just wouldn't look right.

Well, I tried it out in my bedroom but had to turn the lights off to see it clearly. And we have to wait until the sun goes down to use it outside. So I would say no.

We have a 14x14 and it lit up the shed set center .. we have high ceilings 9-12' in our shed with shelves so I bought another light and set the lamps equal distance it's really really bright .. As for windows it should not be a problem .. Even if you have a light from outside shining in will not outshine or absorb the solar light .. I was amazed of the brightness .. I'm glad I bought the lamp even w one .. GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!

You should plug it in and turn off the lights from the lamps in the room and close the windows at day. It lights up in darkness only. If it's day and you have natural light across a window for example, it won't work because it lights only in the obscurity. The most obscurity, the most light. Beside that, it should work, if not maybe there is a problem. We haven't used it yet constantly, we only used it in Christmas day to see if it worked and how it works because it was a gift for our son, and he hasn't put it still in his bedroom. Hope this help you.

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.
