Anti Glare Filters see link. http://www.askergoworks.com/category/95/Anti+Glare+Filters.aspx They don't look cheap though. I agree would not put a film on it. Since you don't require it all the time. You can Google Anti glare computer glasses and check out results there too!

"Polarizing filter?" Zitro Joe, with the inclusion of the queston mark I presume you are asking what a polarizing filter is. A polarizing filter is a circular glass filter that screws onto the front end of you lens in the same manner as a UV or contrast filter. The major difference is that the polarizing filter is actually a two part device that has a mount ring that screws onto the lens filter thread, but the actual glass filter is made in such a manner that it can be rotated. To use a polarizing filter you generally need to mount the camera on a tripod and you would compose and focus in the normal manner then you watch through your viewfinder as you gently rotate the polarizing filter and you will see the image change as glare and hotspots seem to disappear and generally it will improve the overall contrast of the photo. Polarizing filters work especially well when photographing shiny surfaces such as automobiles or when shooting water. They are also very effective to increase the contrast between clouds and open sky and when shooting scenics under bright sun the polarizing filter will improve the contrast of folliage. The down side is that they do not work well for shooting quick candids or sports shots because you do not have time to adjust the filter. Polarizing filters are made in two varieties. Linear Polarizing Filters are indexed "PL" and they are generally used on manual focus lenses whereas for auto-focus they recommend the use of "Circular Polarizing Filters" which are labelled "CPL" When purchasing a polarizing filter you must first know the diameter of the filter mount on your lens. If you look at the writing on the lens that gives the specifications after the focul length and f-stop you will see an 0 with a line slashed through it. That indicates the diameter of your lens filter mount and you would buy a filter to fit that size. If you look in your local camera store or perhaps run a search on Ebay for polarizing filters you will see them listed by size and they generally range about $12 to $20 depending upon the quality you select. Normally I am very frugal and look for a less expensive way to do the job, but filters are one area where I personally insist on getting the higher quality to insure they are actually made from photo quality optical glass and not some piece or repurposed window glass. From my experience if you purchase filters that are made by one of the major camera makers, I.E. Nikon, Canon or Pentax you can be fairly certain that they are made from high quality optical glass. "Hoya" is another company that is world renown for the quality of their photographic filters. I would just be hesitant to buy one of the generic off brands from China that we often see on Ebay. You can expect to pay about $12 to $24 for a quality filter and you will need one for each size of lens you use, but there is one way to save a little money here. You could buy a filter to fit your largest lens diameter then buy an inexpensive filter mount "Step down" ring. The step down ring will have a female thread equal to the filter size and a smaller male thread that will attach to your lens. By example, for my 70-300mm lens I need a 58mm filter but my 18-55mm lens has a 52mm thread mount so I got a 58mm polarizing filter and a 58 to 55mm step down ring so I can use the filter on either lens. (the step down rings are only about $3)

We had Florida panhandle Gulf penthouse with south and west views - lots of windows on both floors. Nothing was better than roll-up mylar shades at the time - years ago. Is it still the way to go? Up to you. We only rolled ours down when the sun was setting and it was almost blinding, then raised when the was below the horizon. Our cars have roll-up see through shades... but I can't find % spec on MB website. You can see through them, but they are hardly view worth. As long as you don't have small children or dogs that will tear the mylar, it's one way to go. Our home has large windows and we used a professional window sun protection for the sun/glare. There are various degrees of darkness and exterior looks (we did not want a mirrored exterior look, or one with a lot of exterior reflection). Helps a lot. I'm not home, so can't put my finger on the brand/specs. It does make the room darker, earlier, and the windows do look different at night, but we live in the woods (no exterior lights) so it's not even noticed by us now.

Any bright white reflective and glossy surface is going to reflect light. A pot light is a down light. So is any solid shades pendant unless glass shaded. Get two pendants with an open frame, or glass and a more diffused light direction. A lantern style, a glass ball etc,if it bothers you. Any chandelier is also diffuse.....unless with shades on the bulbs, which forces light onto the surface you want lit.. Pot lights also come with glass diffusers to shield the bulbs
