I had a call today from a lady suffering from Macular Degeneration who is hoping there is a film she could place over her monitor to reduce retina stress. From the limited stuff I have read on the Internet I'm still confused if a bronze film would reduce "blue light"? Or in the right part of the spectrum. Charity thing for me and I would like to do something to help her but need to know if any window film can help her.... Need someone who has possibly dealt with this if possible. Above my pay grade!

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Stan

Stan, let me ask one of the bio engineers we work with. I know they have the data on light and what colors filter what light. Something tells me it is medical spectral red. I believe TA81 also filters a certain wavelength as well. If it is one of these and you do not have it on the shelf, I have both and can donate whatever you need. I will see if I can find out today

I believe there are glasses with amber or brown coatings that concentrate on the blue light. She might want to check into that as insurance will likely cover it and she can take it anywhere. :dunno

 

Let us know what you come up with Stan. My brother-in-law has a strong family history of MD so it would be cool to know how a film helps out. :beer

Stan. I spoke with one of the engineers we work with and I was told that it is the TA81 that you would be looking for. I have it , just LMK what you need.

Tom, thanks for checking this out for us. She found me on the Internet and called from California. Will get measurements of her monitor to see how much she needs. I believe she has glasses but needs more for the monitor. To cut out the middleman I can get you a mailing address if you want and you can paypal me for shipping if needed? Like you I just want to help when people reach out.

Lady's name is Mary, sounds like a gentle soul. Visual issues are important to me, my son was blind for several years between brain surgery and has very limited vision now. People who have never been unhealthy dont know how lucky they are :twocents

Thanks again to Tom, Smartie, 35, Eastwood, WhiteHog and all those who make this forum a success far above anywhere else on the net.

Cheers

Stan

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
