audiguypaul 28 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Has anyone tried a piece of tinted red perspex on the screen to cut out glare, such as this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RED-4401-PERSPEX-TINT-ACRYLIC-SHEET-150mm-x-150mm-x-3MM-/180642797870?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a0f26592e cheers Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites

porkycrook 466 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I was using car window tint on my NiteSite NS50 ages before NiteSite decided to include in kit. Cheapest way is to just ask the window tint company for some small samples, the do some colours but I just went for black tint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alsone 789 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I would advise a red film given that most animals of the dog family and rabbits don't see well at the red end of the spectrum: http://www.colormatters.com/color-matters-for-kids/how-animals-see-color http://www.cvhs.okstate.edu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=277 A simple smoke colour film whilst reducing light will still leave the light readily viewable by the prey, not least because most of the animals you're going to be concerned with are nocturnal eg foxes, rabbits and so have very good low light vision and sensitivity to low levels of light. By shifting the light to the red end of the spectrum, not only do you reduce the brightness, but also the visibility due to the poor colour vision of the above target species at this end.
