The findings were, no consistent SAC activity among the samples among four separate VLT's looked at using EDTM's meter, both before and after 3-4 hours sun exposure. The truth of the matter SAC only changes the VLT 2-3 points at best so, if you were to look at other like film products (minus the SAC hype) performance difference between say a 35 and a 40, you will begin to see this is a smoke and mirror marketing ploy from regions of the world that have no governmental or independent oversight of marketing claims or test results.Īn instance of product samples requested and received (in various VLT's) for purchase consideration by a tinter I know, led to an invite to review with the EDTM SS2450 meter. Now they have since switched back to Huper at one store and over to Rayno at the other store where the market is cheaper. Translation = We do not use a conventional method of measuring and therefore have no accountability and can post whatever numbers we want. *Due to the unique properties of our Solar Adaptive Coating, conventional method of measuring SHGC and SC can only be provided within a range.

I like the footnote at the bottom of Photosync's performance data: and coincidentally so do a lot of other agencies that deal with energy transmission. Many of which use 3rd parties to validate their data. My point is that even if your opinion was correct and the Photosync 70 performed better than all of these other products you mentioned, then what good is a fast horse that can only race for 5 years? Regardless though, the data that all of these reputable industry leading window film manufacturing companies have published says otherwise. Save your paperwork or you will have to spend another $1k to get your car tinted. So according to the mfg, you have about another 2.5 years left before the chemicals that activate the SAC in this product stop working.
#SPECTRA PHOTOSYNC 27 LICENSE#
The company that manufactures photochromatic film products wanted to license the technology to us years ago and we asked 'how long does the adaptive vlt last and they said 5 years. Most consumers buy a single layer of installed film. at least? Can you compare it to a traditional film installation? Not really. It might even feel better when you compare it to films that are not doubled up. You doubled up your film, of course it is going to feel better than if it were single layer. no two butts are alike so what you are trying to tell an entire forum is that your butt knows what the best films is. I find that "method" tends to be subjective. After a few months, I see they're now offering photosync tint as their top of the line tint at their shop.įunny. He brought a heat lamp to test and he was surprised how much heat it blocked (this was before the second layer of tint). Told them about the tint and they've never heard of it before. These were the same guys that installed huper optik and llumar air blue on my previous cars. I didn't keep huper long enough to see their durability because I wasn't happy with the tint but I'm sure they will last pretty long.įunny story tho, I went to a pretty popular tint shop in my area to get the sunroof tinted with huper optik and the owner asked me what tint I have now.
#SPECTRA PHOTOSYNC 27 WINDOWS#
I had huper optik 60% on my windshield and 30% all around and was not happy with the amount of heat I felt through the windows and windshield while with the 70% photosync I felt much less heat when driving facing the sun on a hot summer day. I've had the photosyn tint on my car for over 2 1/2 years now and it's still holding strong, even with the extra layer of tint I put over it because I wanted darker but didn't want to remove the photosync. I like photosync more because it's not reflective like vkool, I got pulled over for the 40% tint Don't get me wrong, huper optik is good, I just didn't feel it block as much heat as the photosync tint. I had vkool 40 all around and 70 on windshield on one of my previous cars and now photosync 45 and 70 on windshield and it feels pretty close. Actually I feel the heat rejection is similar to vkool.

I've tried huper optik, vkool, f1 pinnacle, llumar air blue, and many other lesser brands and have found the photosync tint to block the most heat.

I'm just someone who went through many different brands of tint trying to find one that blocks the most heat without being too dark. I don't have any #'s, I just go by my "butt dyno" so to say. If so, then we can talk about durability next. Can you or anyone for that matter substantiate the performance #'s of Prestige Photosync. I can prove to you the performance #'s of Huper Optik's ceramic films with 3rd party nationally recognized testing. I mean yes it does block a lot of heat but it's not all that much than the f1 pinnacle while costing more.
