Google is your friend.

Ceramic reflects more heat at lighter levels of tint.

michaelalex17 · 12-22-2010, 08:42 PM

so is ceramic more expensive then carbon? i thought crystalline tint was the one that u can get a lighter tint and it will reflect a lot of light.

The ability to reflect heat and light are two different things. Two different energies and different wavelengths.

Tint darkness is based on VLT (visible light transmittance) and a 35 should be the same no matter what material you use. Colors will vary but overall, actual VLTs will be equal across manufactures.

My huper optics at 35% looks pretty light at night but when in direct sunlight you can barely see through it.
