What is a light-blocking cap?

A glare shield is an accessory for lights that is mounted in front of the light source to direct the light beam precisely and limit direct visibility of the light source. This allows you to control the beam angle more precisely and reduce unwanted glare and light scatter.

Function and Effect

A glare-reducing cap allows you to specifically control a light fixture's light distribution and glare characteristics.

She:

• reduces the direct view of the LED
• softens the light
• reduces the UGR (Unified Glare Rating)
• often produces a more focused beam of light

This is especially useful if you If you want to reduce glare

Suitable for the following types of lights

A dimming cap is typically used for:

• Spotlights & Floodlights (e.g., single-phase/three-phase busbar)
• Ceiling Spotlights / Surface-Mounted Spotlights
• Pendant Lights with a direct light source at eye level
• Wall Sconces with direct light emission

Typical Applications

Living & Dining Areas

• When spotlights are hung above dining tables or seating areas
• For greater visual comfort and a softer lighting effect

Showroom / Retail

• A more even light distribution without harsh glare
• A more natural and high-quality lighting experience

Bedroom

• No direct glare when looking up at the ceiling

Technical Background

Glare occurs when there is a high contrast between the luminance of the light source and the surrounding environment. A glare shield reduces this effect by limiting direct visual contact with the light source and specifically restricting the light output.

This improves your visual perception, especially in areas where you are frequently within the light fixture's direct beam angle.
