| lumiere non eblouissante anti-glare light(ing) Explanation: Anti-glare seems to be used in this context as well. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 44 mins (2010-08-12 08:16:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Perhaps 'low glare' would work better, actually, since anti-glare is usually used to describe softening of reflected rather than direct light.

peer agreement (net): +5| lumiere non eblouissante glare-free lighting Explanation: Once again, I would suggest departing from the FR text; 'light' per se can hardly really be described as 'glaring' or not — it is really the illumination or lighting it produces that might be qualified in that way. Although 'dazzle' is the more usual word for 'éblouissant', in this sort of context, I think 'glare' is more usual in EN. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-08-12 09:42:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just an aside, in texts of a generally marketing nature, '...-free' is often used when trying to make something negative sound like a positive feature. I'm old enough to remember the cyclamate artificial sweetener scare in the early 70s, when all the soft drinks suddenly started blazoning 'Cyclamate-free!' all over their labels. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2010-08-17 09:42:15 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Given that it is 'lumière' raher than 'éclairage', it ought really to be 'glare-free light source', in actual fact — which makes more sense here, as we are talking about an LED light source itself. |
