Shower sky light

Any suggestions as to how I can block some of the light coming in through the sky light???? That early morning sun light is a little more than I want.... Also - don't like closing the bedroom door to block it...

I changed my skylights to a darker tinted version. They also have the pillows that you can put in when you want to block light.

I made a pillow from left over bubble insulation that you can buy at any Lowes or Home Depot. Not only does it block the light, but also the heat.

Last year, I removed the inner bezel and spray painted the underside of the dome with a Rustoleum frosted glass spray and also the top side of the inner bezel. It's now a translucent white and cuts the heat and the light. I also have a expanded polyfoam plug that fits in there as well as for each of my 3 vents to cut the radiant heat coming through. I'll be using them again this weekend. Supposed to be 92 here on Saturday with the humidity. I'll have to use all the tricks to keep it cool

In a previous camper I had covers with snaps for all the openings. May have to make one for the skylight. It does let a lot of heat in.

I don't know what size your cover is, but this might work:

as previous post said there are two bezels. You can remove the bottom and paint , tint or whatever works.

I bought this door window cover and it fits perfectly over my shower skylight. I used velcro to fasten it.
