Description
The Tortoreto anti-glare snoot is a short black cylinder that sits in front of a light source to shield your eye from the bright point of the lamp. It is made of plastic in black, with a neatly rolled rim around the open end, and it stands 3.5cm high and 5.9cm in diameter. It has no lamp socket of its own, so it takes no bulb and gives no light by itself; it is an accessory that changes how a light looks.
Glare is the harsh spot you notice when you glance straight at a bare lamp, and a snoot deals with it by setting the bright source back inside a short tube. The light still goes where it is aimed, while the lamp itself is shielded from side views, so a room feels calmer and easier on the eyes. We think it suits anyone with a light that catches the eye a little too much from a sofa, a dining chair or a hallway.
The body is plastic, so it weighs just 0.01KG and adds next to nothing to the fitting it shields. Plastic does not rust, and the black runs inside the tube as well as outside, so there is no bright inner surface to catch the eye. Our one practical note is to measure your light first: the snoot is 5.9cm across, and that figure decides whether it is the right match.
