It works on Roll down Windows only!Place it on the window and within 1 second you will have the exact measurement of the VLT.

The Inspector 2 is accurate within plus or minus 2% and is not affected by humidity or stray light. You will also get a user manual, a carrying case, a tint law card and two NIST traceable reference samples. Modern films can be made to be almost invisible and will not bubble or peel over time,” says Martin Faith, president of Scottish Window Tinting in Centennial, Colorado. “They can actually enhance a view through the glass and do not need to have any reflective look from inside or outside. Think about your motivation, safety and above all your state’s tint laws before choosing the type and VLT percentage. But wait: Are you having visions of a peeling, bubbling mess on a car window?

Reflecting visible light can reduce window glare, and it can also make it harder for potential thieves to inspect the contents of your car. However, Arizona state lawrequires your side windows to be no more than 35% reflective. Visible Light Transmittance or VLT (Internal and External) Car window tint testers are extremely accurate often calculating anywhere from within 1 percent of the light transmittance to within a tenth of a percentage point depending on the exact model you use. The accuracy comes from measuring the visible light transmittance (ie light transmittance), infrared rejection rate, and ultraviolet rejection rate of automobile glass. Through measurement, the tint test can display the transmission degree percentage of the car glass film as light passes through it. How do you use a tint meter? A dyed tint uses either a dyed adhesive or a submersion process to create a darkened window tint. However, a dyed car tint tends to be primarily cosmetic and will not have the same advanced ceramic UV window film capabilities. Emissivity (E) Leaving the one inch overhang at the bottom of the glass, carefully cut away any extra film at the front or rear of the glass. Window tint meters work by shooting a beam of light from one sensor to the other through the window. The amount of light received by the sensor will be displayed and given the VLT as a percentage.

Faith says energy-efficiency tint projects usually pay for themselves in three or four years. Some utility companies offer rebates for installing films and tints, and some municipalities offer tax incentives. Should I Tint All of My Windows?

Ceramic Tint Its accuracy is not affected by humidity, thus you can use it even innot so friendly weather. It will not affect your reading!Window tinting is a plastic film applied to your vehicle’s windows that darken the glass. This helps reduce Visible Light Transference (VLT), the amount of visible light (VL) passing through glass. Tints are rated by their VLT. The higher the VLT percentage/number, the more VL it lets in. In a metalized tint, metals are applied evenly to a transparent polyester film. The type of metal applied during a metalized tint will influence the color and performance of the final product.
