Great product

I bought this louver to use in my basement darkroom. I mounted it in a basement window by replacing the window with a piece of MDO plywood and mounting the fan in the plywood. At first I thought that the louver was leaking light but after going outside and sealing around the edge of the louver and the edge of the plywood it was light tight. The basement is now pitch black when the lights are turned off and the louver combined with an exhaust further down gives me good ventilation in my work area.
