FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS for 3M™ Polarizing Lights:


What is the anti-toppling feature on the TL1000? How does it work?

This is a safety feature found on the base of the TL1000. It cuts off the electricity to the lamp when the lamp is not placed flat on the surface or when it is lying horizontally on the table. This prevents the possibility of electricity shock as there will be no electricity in the circuit.

What does the 50% Brighter icon mean? Does it apply to all models?

The 50% Brighter icon illustrates the benefit of using the 3M patented DESR reflector. It comes about due to the reflective plate found in the head of the lamp, which reflects more light onto the filter and thus onto the reading surface.

Can you put hot and cold drinks into all Thermos thermal flasks?

A little trick to share through experience:

Mummies and Daddies, actually the trick for all thermos product is if you intend to put hot drink in it, you should forever use it solely for hot drink only and vice versa..

If you put hot and cold beverages interchangeably,  it would spoilt the insulation in the flask. Soon, the thermos flask would not be able to retain heat anymore...

The best suggestion Niche Babies love to share with you is that have 2 flask at any time: 1 for hot drink and the other for chill drink!:)

How do I know if my straw bottle belongs to the B2000 series or the new B2010 series?

Look at the Serial no at the bottom of the bottle. The serial no is written there.

Alternatively, the easiest method to differentiate is:

If the button to open the cover lid for the straw bottle is ROUND it would be B2010 straw bottle ( V2 ).

If the button to open the cover lid for the straw bottle is RECTANGULAR – LONG THIN PUSH BUTTON, it belongs to the older version ( V1 ) of straw bottle produced by Thermos i.e. B2000 straw bottle.
