Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Choose the light filtering shade when you want daylight without harsh glare, which is common in kitchens and bathrooms; pick a blackout version if light control for sleeping is the goal. Confirm your skylight model and size code before ordering, since each shade is made to a specific VELUX size. Because the shade is solar powered, mount it where the integrated panel will receive sunlight.
Follow VELUX installation instructions and use appropriate fall protection or a stable ladder when working at a skylight opening.
