Not all satin is the same


Different weights of fabric can be seen as you hold it up to the light. I'm attempting to look at a 50W light fitting on the ceiling thru fabric, here. The one where you can see the whole light fitting is satin sheets from amazon. They may be cheaper, but it shows as more light is passed through. I'm guessing that means lower filtration effectiveness.

Note the auto-exposure kicked in on my iPhone for the second pic - more light coming through means that my fingers in the second pic are now just silhouettes, but everything else about the light levels in the room are the same for the two pics.
