blind.
For example: "The sun is lovely outside - turn the wand and let some light in through that blind.
Our
venetian blinds,
wooden blinds,
vertical blinds are all tilted with a wand,
electric roller blinds now having the option to be raised or lowered with a
child-safe wand as well.
Wands can also be used on
panel blinds, and vertical blinds as a way to pull the slat across the window. This removes the need for dangling cords that are usually required to operate the blind.
