Glare is a scattered reflection of source light.

Hi Dave,

This is a definition by example, and as such is a weak one because it
can be shown that other example definitions neutralize it.

Glare is first and foremost a subjective interpretation. In other
words it has to be observed by a human and described as distinct from
other sources of light. As such, the common vernacular easily allows
the expression of "the glare of the noon day sun" when in fact there
are no reflections being observed. Stage lights are said "to glare,"
again without any notion of a specular surface. In fact, the
vernacular allows that a steady stare with malice is a "glare."

The point of the matter is that to say something is anti-glare; and
for the specific notion of what glare means having to be ferreted out;
then this necessarily throws the original statement into doubt and
confusion (which makes it perfectly suitable for internet posting :-)

It is absurd to call an application anti-glare without commenting on
the wavelength of the source, as you point out. To this point it
appears that it only works for red (and no other color). This is, of
course, true, and simultaneously irrelevant to common applications.

100% relevant to comparisons to single frequency RF transmitters.
Red lasers are single frequency. Therefore, they are appropriate
vehicles for comparison to single frequency amateur radio RF
transmitters. All your ****ing, moaning, and hand-waving won't
change that fact. Ham transmitters are hardly anything like a
light bulb, the diversion that you are attempting to insert. Ham
transmitters are a lot like lasers, the subject you are trying to
avoid at all costs.

So, without avoiding the topic at hand, what is the resonant frequency
of the cement layer between the glass of the window and the mounting
pad? Or wavelength? Or color? :-)

Does it merit 0.5 to 1.0 dB of Glare suppression?

Humor me with another half dozen responses void of that value.

As the Army Times has noted about the Bush White House's support of
the troops:
"President Bush, the commander in chief himself, rode a Navy jet
to the aircraft carrier Lincoln to bask in the reflective glow of some
of the brave Americans who helped oust Saddam Hussein.
"Money talks -- and we all know what walks."

Well, you got the last word with that book you wrote recently :-)

The White House squirmed and squealed about it;
The Department of State nodded knowingly;
The CIA smiled inwardly.
