Strong magnets allows the tracks to be removed and re-attached at your convenience, particularly helpful for tilt in windows, ex. to clean windows or remove screens.

Comes with two magnetic adhesive strips, one comes attached to the track and the other gets attached to your wall and the two magnet together.

Magnetic strips use the best adhesive designed to stay up even in extreme temperature changes.

The inside of the track is a black, light absorbing material that makes your room darker.

You will need at least a 5/16″ gap or about the thickness of a standard size pencil along each side for these to fit.

What People Are Saying About Our Light Blockers for Blinds

5/5

What they don’t tell you when you buy room, darkening shades, especially motorized shades, that light still creeps in at the sides sometimes at the top and sometimes at the bottom depending on the make.

What you need is these brilliantly Thought out solutions to block that light which are simple to install and come with a magnetic strip so that they can be removed to clean windows, etc.

They truly make a world of difference. I’ve used these on other windows in my house, and I just installed these in my two huge bedroom windows where there’s a streetlight directly outside with the side mount and bottom mount. No light penetrates the bedroom. It is black perfect for disturbing sleep

The owners who came up with the idea Bob and Jan are great people to deal with. If you have any concerns, they’ll get right back to you if you email them. What’s more they stand behind their product you have a 30 day money-back guarantee but believe me, you won’t need to return them any problems contact Bob or Jan

Sleepy Time Tracks work incredibly well, and they were easy to install too. The light (lux) during the brightest part of the day that made it into the room dropped ~1000x to <0.05 lux after installing these (and making some small adjustments). Amazing!

USPS lost our shipment for a bit, but Robert was very kind and quick to respond and helped get that one little hiccup sorted out. Great company, thank you!

We got these to keep the light from leaking in to my sons nursery. They’re the only ones we could find for outside mounted blinds and they work SO WELL. The sun sets on that side of the house and you wouldn’t know it!
