Does solar screens block out all the light? How much does it cost to use motorize blinds?

I want to block the light from two high ceiling windows but still able to see the outside. Does solar screens block out the light completely? How much does it usually cost for two solar blinds in high ceiling? Motorize blinds cost a fortune at Home depot at Lowes (they told me starting at 0 each with 8 installation fee). Any suggessions?

Has anyone replaced any of their house lights with LED lights?

Where can you buy them? I checked with Home Depot and they don’t sell them. Walmart does, but is there anywhere else? I know they are a little dim, but for stairwells and hallways.. Also for night lights for the kiddiekins! Tonia Bacon

Can I cut off the wires to my plug in under cabinet lights and hard wire?

I remodeled my kitchen and ran wires for under counter lights? I had a gift card for Home Depot so I had to buy the lights there but all I could find was plug in/linkable lights. Some will link but 4 (1 in each cluster of cabinets) needs to be hardwired. Can I cut off the plug and hard wire them in? They are line voltage. None are low voltage.

Where would I find the tape measure with the LED light on TV?

I want to buy my Dad this tape measure that either Canadian Tire, Home Hareware, or Home Depot sells. No one seems to know where to find it. It’s got an LED light for accurate measurement. I remember it sells for .99. It’s a fairly new product, and i’ve only seen the commercial once.

P.S. if you don’t know the answer and have nothing good to say then don’t, I don’t need any smart A$s comments about how nondescript my question is.
