Thanks very much...this does seem like the most likely explanation as I can't find it in German on the Internet, either. Thank you!

clear reversal


Explanation:
"clear" steht auf Glühbirnen

und "reversal" ist bereits aus dem Englischen in die deutsche Produktbeschreibung übernommen, weil man wohl nichts Treffenderes gefunden hat.

Hi Louisa


Explanation:
Now I don't claim to be an expert! But this doesn't sound right to me at all )-: .. What's reversible plexiglas when it's at home?

I think the klar and the reversal don't go together, you have clear 'Acrylglas' with a translucent screen print on the reverse side.

I would interpret 'reversal' as meaning 'on the reverse'. I don't think there is any way it can mean reversible.

That would be my take on it ... hopefully someone with more expertise can confirm or shoot me down in flames!

Regards

Mary
