I'd probably rate them as an inferior form of white globe.  Therefore,
TL=20+  I seem to remember personal white globes as being TL=21 so it
might be possible to put them in at high TL20.  I won't say anything about
how they work.  The cost is going to be excessive if you can even locate
the things.

It might be saner to rate them as even more advanced than white globes since
they have properties that white globes aren't supposed to have --- transparent,
only allow slow things through.  I know that no players I GM for would get
their hands on a (fully) working version ;-}
