FAQ

LC Privacy Glass is user-controlled with the use of a simple wall switch, mobile device, or with voice commands using Alexa or Google Home. When switched ON, glass is Transparent — when switched OFF, glass is Private.

The glass is transparent when the power is ON. The operation cannot be reversed.

When you switch LC Privacy Glass on, you get a transparent view, but a small amount of haze is normal. It can vary by manufacturer, materials, and how the glass is viewed, and can be minimized by lighting and the surrounding environment. See document "How to Minimize and Control Haze"
