Question about 1-way glass

[Kard63]

A while back I made a thread about smart glass but it is insanely expensive and it would be kinda nice to be able to see out all the time. Someone said 1-way glass would let everyone see in at night. If I had lights outside pointing at the glass would that prevent people from being able to see in?

You'd probably have to ask people at a company that sells one-way mirrors/glass if that would work, but generally you have to keep the one side darker than the side you want to be shielded from.

Here's something a little different (was posted on Bob Villa's site no less) - http://www.polytronix.com/privacyglass.htm
Looks pretty damn expensive though.


Then there's the public bathrooms made out of one-way mirrored glass...

I think I'd get stage fright.
