Buying blackout blinds? Here are 10 reasons to go with Lights Out.

1. Canadian owned. Independently run.

If you like knowing who you’re buying from, this is a good place to start. Lights Out is Canadian owned and independently run, with a team here in Canada to help before and after your blinds arrive.

You can read a little more about the company here.

2. The blackout goes right to the edges.

Blackout fabric can still leave a bright outline around your window. Lights Out pairs its fabric with a custom-fit frame that seals those gaps. The whole point is to keep daylight from finding a way around the blind, as well as through it.

That’s what makes the edge seal worth paying attention to when you’re looking for complete blackout.

“Really no light coming through. The frame seal is no joke.”

3. Easy to install. No drilling.

Installation takes around 10 minutes per blind. Click the frame together, apply the supplied adhesive, and position it inside your window opening. There’s a video to follow along with, so you can see what’s involved before ordering.

See the short installation video further down.

4. There’s a fit guarantee.

Getting custom measurements wrong is a reasonable worry. If your measurements are off and the blind doesn’t fit, Lights Out will remake it free under its fit guarantee. You can also ask for help measuring before placing your order.

Here’s the measuring guide if you want to see what’s involved.

5. The founders are still involved.

Charlie and Liad lead Lights Out and stay involved in the product and customer experience. There are actual people behind the business, with a personal reason to care about whether your order goes smoothly.

6. Charlie has been in blinds for 15 years.

7. They help with more than light.

Lights Out adds an insulating layer at your window to help reduce heat transfer. That means helping keep heat out during warmer months and warmth in when it’s cold. A useful extra for a room you want to feel comfortable in.

8. You don’t need to book an installer.

A straightforward installation also means fewer things to arrange. You can skip finding a contractor, booking an appointment, and paying a separate installation bill. Fit the blinds yourself when you have a little time at home.

9. You can get a quick answer.

A small measuring question shouldn’t hold everything up. Lights Out responds within 24 hours, often much sooner. The team can help while you’re choosing your blinds, checking a window, or figuring something out during installation.

Send the team a question.

“They responded within minutes and got me sorted.”

10. Doing a few windows brings the price down.

If there’s more than one bright bedroom in the house, this helps. The Black Friday offer gives you 30% off every order, with bigger savings when you order three or more blinds:

• All orders: 30% off
• 3 or more blinds: up to 45% off

The multi-blind savings apply at checkout. You can choose different measurements and finishes for each window.
