Mission Darkness Smart Meter Cloak
Overview
Block Smart Meter RF/EMF Radiation

SKU: MD-CLOAK

The Mission Darkness™ Smart Meter Cloak uses military-grade Faraday technology to block harmful RF/EMF radiation emitted by smart meters — preventing those emissions from penetrating into your home or building. Built from dual-layer stainless steel mesh with a faraday compression gasket, it provides the highest achievable shielding for an exterior-mounted meter. As an added benefit, the Cloak also shields the meter's LCD display from UV exposure and heat damage, extending its operational life.

What It Does
Faraday Shielding for Smart Meters.

Smart meters constantly emit RF radiation in close proximity to your home. Since they can't be removed from your property, shielding is the only way to reduce your exposure. The Smart Meter Cloak is purpose-built for this — and also protects the meter's LCD display from sun damage as a secondary benefit.

📡
Blocks RF/EMF Radiation
Dual-layer 1/6" stainless steel mesh absorbs and blocks RF emissions from transmitting into your home or building.
🏠
Reduces In-Home Exposure
Smart meters emit constant RF radiation from your exterior wall. The Cloak intercepts those emissions before they enter your living space.
🔒
Faraday Compression Seal
The lid closes with two latches and a faraday-shielded compression gasket for a secure, leak-free RF seal.
🔍
Readable Through the Lid
Technicians can read and access the meter screen through the top mesh layer. No removal required, ever.
☀️
Protects LCD Displays
Shields the meter's display from direct sunlight, UV degradation, and extreme heat — extending LCD screen life as an added benefit.
⚙️
Tool-Free Fit
Pull-tab mesh base and double screw clamp secure the Cloak over any round meter. Installs in minutes with no grounding wires.
Industry Problem
The Sun Is Destroying Meter Displays

Socket-type smart meters installed in hot, sunny climates face a well-documented problem: their LCD displays burn out prematurely from direct sun exposure. Direct sunlight dramatically accelerates LCD degradation, leading to faded, unreadable, or completely blank displays. Major federal metering infrastructure suppliers have acknowledged rampant LCD display failures in hot regions worldwide. The Smart Meter Cloak is the most practical, cost-effective solution to protect and prolong LCD display life.

The Problem: Sun-Damaged Displays

LCD crystals are highly sensitive to prolonged UV exposure and heat. Socket meters installed on south-facing walls in hot climates — Arizona, Texas, California, Florida, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa — routinely fail years before their expected service life due to display burnout. Blank screens mean technicians cannot read meters manually, driving up truck roll and replacement costs.

The Solution: Smart Meter Cloak

The Smart Meter Cloak's stainless steel mesh lid and body act as a continuous shade barrier and UV block for the meter's display face. By significantly reducing direct solar load and UV penetration, the Cloak extends LCD service life by years while simultaneously blocking RF emissions. A single low-cost cover prevents expensive meter replacements and unplanned field visits.

Property managers protecting banks of meters in apartments, condos, and commercial buildings from both RF exposure and sun damage.
🏠
Residential Homeowners
Homeowners looking to reduce RF/EMF exposure inside their property, protect meter hardware from UV degradation, and maintain privacy from wireless data transmission.
Installation
Installed in Minutes. Protected for Years.

No electrician required. No grounding wires. No contract violations.

01
Position the Cloak
Slide the stainless steel mesh base over the round meter using the pull-tab. Adjust for proper fit against the wall.
02
Line the Rim
Apply the included weather-proof foam strips to the rim for a snug, size-adjustable fit across different meter models.
03
Clamp & Secure
Thread the included screws and nuts through the clamp holes and tighten to lock the base ring in place.
04
Latch the Lid
Close the hinged lid and secure both latches. The faraday gasket compresses to form a tight RF-blocking seal.
Stainless Steel Mesh Detail
Build Quality
Dual-Layer Mesh. Zero Compromise.

The Smart Meter Cloak is engineered for permanent outdoor installation with zero maintenance. Every material is chosen for longevity in harsh conditions.

  • Double layer 1/6" stainless steel mesh — extreme shielding strength, won't deform under impact
  • Faraday compression gasket — RF-sealing lid closure with zero signal leakage over time
  • Two stainless steel lid latches — secure closure, easy tool-free access for meter reads
  • No rust, no corrosion — performs in rain, heat, humidity, and UV exposure for years
  • Two foam strip sizes included — accommodates varied meter diameters across US and Canadian utility types
Technician Access
Read the Meter. Never Remove the Cloak.

Utility technicians can open the hinged flip lid and view the meter screen through the top mesh layer at any time without removing the Cloak or disrupting its seal. Fully compliant with utility access requirements — no service contract violations.

  • Hinged lid opens fully for unobstructed meter access
  • Top mesh layer maintains EMF shielding even when lid is open
  • No tools required to open — utility workers can access instantly
  • Relatch in seconds to restore the RF seal after reading

Field Protocol
Installation Instructions

Complete installation in under 10 minutes with a screwdriver. Wear gloves when handling stainless steel mesh.

01
Wear Protective Gloves
Put on gloves before handling the stainless steel mesh to protect against sharp edges during installation.
02
Position Over the Meter
Slide the Smart Meter Cloak around your meter using the pull-tab. Make adjustments so the Cloak sits flush against the wall.
03
Trim if Needed
If there is a protruding element on the meter rim, trim the exposed mesh at the base to accommodate it and allow the Cloak to sit flat.
04
Apply Foam Strips
Choose the appropriate foam strip size from the two included options. Line the rim for a snug, weather-sealed fit.
05
Clamp and Tighten
Install the included screws and nuts through the clamp holes on the base ring. Tighten with a screwdriver to create a secure seal around the meter.
06
Latch the Lid
Close the flip lid and engage both latches. The faraday compression gasket creates a tight RF seal. Undo the side latches at any time to read the meter screen.

Important Note

The Smart Meter Cloak reduces EMF emissions by covering the outside of the meter. Since meters are affixed to exterior walls, complete enclosure is impractical — the Cloak provides the highest achievable shielding for this installation context. No grounding wires are required.

Proof it works?!

Our smart meter is situated at the road portion of our driveway and faces some boxwood hedges that have been dying unexplainably… or so we thought. After covering our smart meter for several months (we never took it off, to be clear), we looked back at the hedges to find the spots that were dying, started coming back to life! They’ve since filled back in and it looks as though nothing ever happened. So imagine, if that’s what a smart meter can do to some hedges from 10+ feet away, what is it doing to our bodies?? Thanks MOS! I am so happy with this purchase, I highly recommend this product to anyone who has a smart meter at their home!
