Hey folks,

I ordered one of these for displaying the fridge temp and it's going to replace the factory clock display. Trouble is, the item is stupid bright and those bright red readout will drive me crazy at night time. I *could* get a photo resistor and make this simple project a little more complicated or just find a film that will cut down the glare at night time. Amazon has lots of film for this exact purpose but has anyone used something purchased locally? I could go to a hobby shop and see what they have but I may end up buying a giant roll of something!

Here's my display unit
Amazon product ASIN B0114AWZMA
Here's amazon's glare reducing film
Amazon product ASIN B006R0VWSG
Thanks for your input.
