Technical Specifications & Power Options

When selecting your Motorized Blackout Shades, choosing the correct motor type is essential for long-term performance and convenience. At Videma, we offer two distinct engineering paths based on your home’s wiring and automation needs.

Option A: Rechargeable Lithium Battery Motor (Retrofit Ready)

• Best Use Case: Ideal for existing homes where running new electrical wires is not an option. It is the perfect solution for upgrading manual shades to Motorized Blackout Shades without a contractor.

• Power Source: Features a built-in, high-capacity lithium-ion battery. A single charge typically lasts about 6 months based on twice-daily operation.

• Local Control: Operates via a handheld remote (sold separately) or a free smartphone App. Using the phone Bluetooth signal, you can set top/bottom limits, adjust motor direction, and toggle Open/Close/Stop.

• Automation Note: To enable global access (controlling shades while away), precision scheduling, or voice commands with Alexa, a Smart Gateway must be purchased separately.

Option B: AC Plug-in Motor (New Construction Choice)

• Best Use Case: Specifically designed for new renovations or rooms where a standard power outlet or electrical lead is pre-installed near the window header.

• Built-in Smart Hub: These motors are inherently more powerful and feature-rich. They pair directly with Alexa and your home Wi-Fi—no additional gateway required.

• Global Access: Gain instant access to cloud control and complex automation scenes directly through the App from anywhere in the world. Set a “Sunrise” schedule, and your Motorized Blackout Shades will open automatically.

Our Motorized Blackout Shades utilize a high-density, multi-layered composite fabric that prioritizes both professional performance and high-end interior design.

• 100% Light Blockage: Engineered to eliminate all incoming solar rays, creating a true sanctuary for bedrooms or media rooms.

• Luxury Texture: Features a refined, high-end weave and premium tactile finish that seamlessly complements any decor, from modern minimalism to classic luxury.

• Easy Maintenance: The durable, anti-static surface is moisture-resistant and remarkably easy to clean—simply wipe with a damp cloth to keep your shades looking new for years.

Why Most Motorized Blackout Shades Fail (and How We Fixed It)

Buying Motorized Blackout Shades online is usually a gamble. Most big brands allow a 1-inch light gap on each side to avoid fabric fraying. They call it “industry standard.” At Videma, we call it a distraction. After months of re-engineering our bracket systems and tube alignment, we’ve achieved a 0.2″ precision side gap. That’s a 80% reduction in light leakage compared to the names you see on Amazon.

✋ A Personal Note from Elliott: “No Bots, Just My Eyes”

I’m Elliott, the founder of Videma. I know the biggest fear of buying custom shades is measuring wrong. You spend $300, and it doesn’t fit? That’s a nightmare.

That’s why we don’t just “process orders.” Once you place an order for our Motorized Blackout Shades, I (or my lead technician) will personally review your window photos via chat. We check for out-of-square frames, obstruction handles, and mounting depth. If I see a potential issue, I’ll message you before we cut a single inch of fabric. We’re not just a factory; we’re your project partners.

Engineered to Last: The Anti-Sagging Tech

When you deal with large windows—like those over 100″—standard tubes just don’t cut it. They bend. In the industry, we call this Tube Deflection. A sagging tube leads to fabric “V-ing” and permanent wrinkles.

We use high-rigidity, thickened aluminum tubes specifically calculated for your window’s width. Whether you’re covering a small nursery window or a massive patio door, we ensure the fabric stays flat and the motor runs silent.
