it's totally adjustable... do whatever you want with it 0% and 99% tint shades were used to show the difference is there

I've always wondered why the technology for transitions lenses aren't applied to windows. It wouldn't be as flashy, or have it's own dongle to turn it on/off, but it would be functional.

Awful....When its not dark its foggy, which looks like sh!t.
If it were totally clear when the tint wasnt kicked in I would be all for it. Looks like the technology still needs improvement. Last edited by Zerafian; 09-12-2009 at 03:07 PM. |

"most factory windshields are built with a vinyl interlayer between the glasses that you really can't see they are then fused together. According to the information I found at Carlite, who manufactures factory quality windshields for many vehicles, this layer is also a solar tint which absorbs Ultraviolet rays from entering the vehicle. This interlayer doesn't darken the windshield that you can really notice, but instead by blocking the UV rays, which prevents the Transitions lenses from getting darker while in a vehicle. While you are in a vehicle, your glasses don't get darker, and you are left squinting. Granted you are not being damaged by UV rays, but if you can't see because of the sun you run the risk of getting in an accident." That being said, can they make windows activate the tint while still blocking UV rays from those inside the car? |

If the technology used is similar to the e-paper stuff, the only energy draw comes from changing states. So, for as long as you could normally leave the car without the battery going dead.

Here is a prime example of a technology that DOESN'T need to be used in a car. This stuff first came around about 8 years ago and they used it in all the 'chic' bathrooms of new, prestigious clubs and lounges. You could walk in the clear, glass stall, lock the door, and BOOM...it's frosted over while you take a dump.
There is nothing safe about having this in your car when it frosts two ways (can't see in or out). The only utility is if you store diamonds on the seats of your car while it's parked or you've installed a toilet in place of the passenger seat. |
