We like the way we can block light with this shade. We ordered white. However, as you can see in the photo, this is anything but white (except where there is light leakage around the edges). We were hoping to match our white ceiling.

Good product nicely engineered

I bought 2 in mid 12/20. They arrived in a week...great. They were easy to install but here are some tips for the FS/M08 model of window only. The instructions are all pictures...no words. Follow them exactly in order. One critical item NOT in the instructions is the guide string handling. The strings on each side of the motor are wound around a plastic bracket that holds the motor to the base for shipping. The string MUST be fully unwound from that clamp and the motor before you install the guide rails. There is a channel for the string on the motor base that it MUST be in when you slide the guide rails in place. Otherwise you will be taking the rails apart when you find out the strings are hung up and can't be attached to the base of the rail. There are 2 small mounting brackets to install at the base of the window. The model identification plate will probably be in the way of one of them. Remove the plate and save it. Finally, your drill will damage the base of the window frame when you drill the hole for the lower mounting bracket. Put painters tape over the base of the window frame before drilling. Other then those items install is easy to do but you must have some DIY mechanical skills.

Blinds

Blinds are very good in filtering the light.The problem is the ring that the rod with a hook goes into sometimes pops out.This is on the fixed skylight.FSC06. Very annoying.I must say Velux could design a better operation?For part#940900.Very nice skylights.I hope this helps someone to choose a different unit solar etc.?

Merchant Response
Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear that you have had a mishap occur. The shade rail loop is a friction fitted item and it appears that yours has popped out. We are more than happy to replace it for you in hopes that you will get better service from it. Please email your request to: vcustomer.service@velux.com and we will ship this right out to you!

Room darkening flat blind.

It was very easy to install. Guests in this bedroom are very happy that they can now sleep in on sunny mornings. Works quietly and consistently.

Battery

We have used them for years but now have a battery issue with one of them. How and where do I find replacements for 833442?

Design vulnerable to changes in temperature

Our blind worked fine for awhile, but we would hear the spring pop loudly at night while it cooled. Just found out that the spring which keeps the blind fabric taut broke

The greatest blind ever!

We installed this blind on our 20 year old Velux skylight. The skylight is above the kitchen island, which is the location that is most used in that room. We live in California and the sun would glare off the counter top, heat up the kitchen and add to the heat in the adjoining family room. The blind fabric we selected is white. There is no glare anymore and makes working in the kitchen much better. It reduces the heat that comes through the skylight. And the blind certainly does not make it dark in the room. There is enough light that comes through to work fine in there without turning on a light. And almost as much as all these improvements, my husband loves the fact that when the blind opens and closes it glides noiselessly up and down the track.

Love the solar shade and skylight

We bought this Light Filtering Skylight and we are extremely pleased with our purchase. Easy installation for the installer since we were just replacing an existing skylight. I would highly recommend.
