Window Tint penalties

Looks to me like you're thinking it the other ways round

Why is my 5% darker than my 15% on my truck?

The lower you go the darker it gets

 

but he use to be an inspector and owns a tint meter. Smh but yeah it's the other way around for sure.

 

I'm just trying to figure out where he got those numbers being thrown out there with such confidence like

 

to answer the original question the fine for tinted windows is 100.00 I got like 5 of them before I pulled the tint off. If they want to be an a hole which the usually are they can also give you a 250.00 fine for failure to correct violation after your first ticket.

 

I see what he's trying to say sort of if He thought that 100% was painted black lol. 100-23=77( that 77 meaning 77 percent of light coming through. Although that would work if the numbers were flipped.

The way it's set up makes more sense I'd say
5% meaning only 5% light getting through the window and 77% meaning of light.

 

From what I understand, the windshield will protect your skin 100% from harmful sun rays. The problem is the side windows which have 0 protection from the sun. If true, the risk to the driver is really the left arm if exposed.
Does this make sense?

This is what the Google machine kicked out

 

the higher the tint number, the darker it gets. the less light transmittance.



5% light transmittance means 95% tint. so yes it's darker then your 15% light transmittance and 85% tint.

you don't have 5% tinted windows, they're stock with 23% to start out with. allowing 77% light TRANSMITTANCE through the window.

i know it's a hard concept for you NON certified people that have never worked with a light meter on a daily basis to figure out. your not the only people that have a hard time with the concept at first.

5% tint is darker then 15% tint. so your 5% tint is allowing 95% light to transmit through. but it's darker then your 15% tint which only allows 85% light to transmit through. so, how does darker allow more light to transmit? cuz THAT'S what you guys are thinking.

it's not 5% tint. it's 95% tint. only allowing 5% light to transmit.
15% tint is actually 85% tint only allowing 15% light to transmit.

what your calling 5% and 15% is NOT tint %. IT'S light transmittance %. your tint is 95% and 85%.
