Our "nuclear blast shields" are just regular light blocking roll blinds. The heaviest duty kind sold at Home Depot. They really keep the light out and even though we've only had them a day or two, it feels like it's cooler in here, and the AC doesn't run constantly. It actually cycles now. We pull them down when the sun is shining directly in the window. It's really dark in here when we pull them down.

It was either the blinds, or getting a new AC that is sized properly. $60 or $6000? Hmmm...
