What Does VLT Mean?
VLT stands for Visible Light Transmission. It measures the percentage of light that passes through your window tint film. Each state sets its own legal VLT limits.
A higher VLT means more light passes through (lighter tint). A lower VLT means less light passes through (darker tint).
Example: A 70% VLT tint allows 70% of light through (very light), while a 5% VLT tint only allows 5% of light through (very dark — often called “limo tint”).
