For those not familiar with Spectra PhotoSync, it is a nano window film that will adjust its nano properties to perform better when exposed to direct solar radiation (sunlight). The result is the film's heat rejecting properties begin to change to block up to 98.5% of infrared rays. This video below shows this effect:

Conducted another test since we have been receiving inquiries to test PhotoSync against ceramic

Test: PhotoSync vs. a leading ceramic tint at 40%

 

Another test we conducted recently. With Prestige Film Technologies' Spectra PhotoSync Nano Window Film. We decided to document this test to show how well this product performs compared to a leading 30% ceramic tint. The previous test was done compared to a ceramic 40%. Test specs:

Spectra PhotoSync 65% (yes, we are using a lighter film to compare with a darker 30% ceramic tint)
*product to the left

VS.

30% Ceramic (one of the more popular ceramic tint products on the market....sorry, we are not going to name the manufacturer of this product, but can say it is likely the most well-known on the market)
*product to the right

Conditions:

Outdoor Temperature: 75 degrees

Test Time: 2pm

Measurement Equipment: BTU Meter aimed directly at the window films to obtain simultaneous readings for accuracy

Test Subject: Raging Gray Bull named the Aventador

 

To note, this video below shows how PhotoSync compares to a very popular ceramic 40% tint. However, this comparison was done at Spectra PhotoSync's pre-activation phase. In short, PhotoSync's Solar Adaptive Coating did not activate to produce maximum heat rejection, which means it will perform even better when exposed to solar energy for approximately 15 minutes.

 

wow, amazing work

 

We just installed Spectra PhotoSync 75% to the windshield of a Tesla. Right here, we use a BTU meter to test the performance of the product installed - what a difference!

 

We recently conducted a test to see how hot the Tesla Model S gets in the rear. There is a general consensus among Tesla owners regarding too much heat build up. For the rear hatch of the Tesla Model S, there is an option for rear facing seats for children. Owners of the Model S have been complaining and executives at Tesla even know of this issue. With that said, we decided to conduct a test to measure the ambient air temperature of the rear hatch. Tesla's rear hatch glass is a laminated glass that has a metallic coating to it to reject some heat; however, even this is not enough from our findings.

Though this is not a 991, we believe it is necessary to show the efficacy of every product we carry at Premier. Below is our test:

Test Subjects - 2 Tesla Model S
Tesla 1 - factory laminated OEM Glass with metallic coating
Tesla 2 - Spectra PhotoSync 45 installed to the side glasses + rear hatch

30 Minute Test in the Rear Hatch with both vehicles side by side
Duration: 30 Minutes
Time of Test: 3:35 pm
Exterior Temperature: 88 degrees
Purpose: Compare air temperatures inside hatch between vehicle with no window film and the other with Spectra PhotoSync installed

Here are the two test mules:


Test Vehicle 1 - No Film
Start off at 84 degrees


In just 3 minutes the temperature rose to 92 degrees


Close to 7 minutes, the air temperature rises to 105 degrees


At the 15 minute marker, temperature is at an unbearable 123 degrees


26 Minutes - Temperature now reads 136 degrees


At the end of the 30 minute test, it is a scalding 140 degrees, which is the reason why leaving children in a vehicle can be a fatal mistake.

 

Simply amazing. Great presentation of the product; will definitely be a future client

 

Since you are in Florida, I believe Prestige does have a Spectra Dealer - www.Autosupershield.com

 

Wow!!!!

 

Today we took a quick surface temperature reading on a 2014 VW Touareg we just received. The car was sitting outside for 15 minutes before we brought the vehicle inside to our facility. But before we did, we found these astounding numbers:

Front driver seat - 156 degrees F
Front driver side dash - 163 degrees F

This is the reason dashboards and leather seats tend to crack over time. Daily exposure to the sun's UV and infrared rays can wear down the interior significantly in a short amount of time. Product quality and performance is why we choose to use Spectra PhotoSync Nano Tint by Prestige Film Technologies.

Spectra PhotoSync reduces total solar energy by up to 79% and block out up to 98.5% of IR and 99.5% of UV. We have used most of the high-end tint out there and there's nothing on the market, in our opinion, that can stack against this product

 

Hi all. We just wanted to share our experience and test results for PhotoSync. We used a highly sophisticated equipment to conduct our own test between PhotoSync and Crystalline. This machine is capable of reproducing the solar spectrum and can calculate a solar product performance with respect to 3 important global standards:

1. EN410 (2011)
2. ISO9050 (2003)
3. NFRC 300 (2010) - this is the most important one for us window tinters because it is a USA standard
*this equipment is patented and a very accurate measuring tool we use.

Many films on the market boast high IR rejection #s, but they usually take their highest performing #s. Typically, the easiest performance #s to gain is in the short IR between 900-1000nm. This represents a very small portion of the IR spectrum, which ranges from 780-2500. In general, these other window tints perform not as well in the higher ranges. BTU meters typically run in the range from 900-1000, so it is not representative of its true performance. On the IR scale, the range between 1100-1600 is the spot that is critical to heat transmission. With this unit, it can measure two different values:

900-1000
780-1700+

We just installed window film to this Tesla Model S with 55 on the front two and 35 on all of the back windows. As you can see SPH55 blocks out 98% of IR (allowing 2% to transmit through) on the 900-1000 scale. With the higher spectral range 780-1700, it comes through with 97% IR rejection (allowing 3% to transmit through). Simplified results:

SPH55
900-1000nm 98% IR Rejection
780-1700nm 97% IR Rejection

SPH35
900-1000nm 98% IR Rejection
780-1700nm 97% IR Rejection

**quite consistent results and only 1% variance in the higher nanometer range

Crystalline 40
900-1000nm 98% IR Rejection
780-1700nm 85% IR Rejection

**as you can see the performance drops when you are looking at the higher IR range.

Before actually conducting our own test, we were a little perplexed as to why the TSER is so different between PhotoSync and Crystalline even though their IR numbers are close. Now it is clear. It is because on Crystalline, their performance drops when you reach the higher nm of the IR Spectrum whereas PhotoSync is highly consistent with high IRR (infrared rejection)

 

We are now carrying a new ceramic line, CeraLuxe Quantum Ceramic, made by Prestige Film Technologies - same company that manufactures Spectra PhotoSync. Performance is ahead of all ceramic tints on the market and also above ALL 3M tints, this is one spectacular film. It also does not affect radio or e-signals and does not have a reflective look. Luxury window film producing high heat rejection without compromise. On the pricing end, it does cost about 20%-25% less than Spectra PhotoSync!

Comes in the following shades: 73%, 45%, 33%, and 20% (By comparison PhotoSync comes in the following shades: 75%, 65%, 55%, 45%, 35%)

Here is our BTU (british thermal unit) video test of CeraLuxe Quantum Ceramic compared to others:

CeraLuxe labeled as "CLX"

On this BTU meter test, we put 3 different films to test against CeraLuxe 73% - which is rated at 53% Total Solar Energy Rejection + an IRR (infrared rejection) rating of 88%. In the line up of other films, we used a 3% metallic limo tint, 35% hybrid nano-carbon film, and a 50% popular ceramic. The results for CLX are impressive.

 

I love those 9500's.
Oh, nice Carrera GT
