    I just ordered a huge sheet of that anti-reflective stuff. I hope to have it next week. It'll be delivered straight to the waterjet shop.

    This is such a not-cheap project. But so worth the effort.

    Here's an exclusive teaser pic. No photoshop tricks. Same bulbs hitting each piece of glass.

    Are these the same non-reflective glass that KG sells? How much will this be going for Adam?

    I have no idea what KGW sells. I've never had a set of their glass and wouldn't be able to look at it and tell what make and model it is. Mine is a special non-reflective polymer. So... not glass.

    Not sure of the price yet. I'm really hoping to be in the $55 range that I was with the worthless museum glass. It might be a bit higher. I'll know once I have a batch of lenses cut and how many can fit per square foot.

    Even at a slightly higher price this would be a good upgrade.

    a random thought: Does anyone make an anti-glare tempered glass? (Not sure if that would be usable with a water jet though).
    I knew it would work out

    The material is at the water jet. They just did a cut matrix for me and it looks like they'll start cutting next week. Very excited to have this project maybe complete soon.

    I hope.

    I have a price for the gauge glass: $59 per set. Hope that works for folks. It's just a few bucks over my target from last year.

    The glass should be cut this week.

    Gonna wait till I have the glass to take orders. I don't want to sell a lot and discover I have less good sets than I thought.

    revlimiter Lenses

    • High performance anti-reflective lenses for various aftermarket gauge clusters.
    • <2% total reflectivity, ~97% light transmission.
    • Double sided AR coating. This is a chemical process, not a mechanical frosting.
    • Lenses are shatter resistant and abrasion resistant.
    • Optical quality, like high quality eyeglasses for your gauges.

    Hit my store for price and ordering info! Intro price: $59 + shipping!


    No photoshop trickery. This is exactly what my camera shows, sized down and watermarked. Lights are the same on both lamps.


    Two plain glass lenses, two revlimiter Lenses, and no glass over the oil gauge opening.


    This shows the performance quite well under the most harsh conditions. While there is some reflection, you can still see the scale and numbers on the right side gauges easily. The left side is totally blown out.


    Graphs are awesome.


    The lenses are installed in this shot.
