The darkness of vehicle window film
People often want to know how dark their tinted windows can be on their car, truck, SUV, van or pickup truck. The same rules in Louisiana apply to commercial and personal vehicles with window tint. The main focus of course is on reflectivity and darkness or transparency. The darkness is measured in VLT, otherwise known as visible light transmission. The formula for measuring this as a percentage comes down to how much light can visibly pass through the window. This is fairly consistent with other state laws, though the percentages may differ from state to state. In Louisiana, they measure the percentage is a combination of both film and window.
What does Louisiana law say about tinted windows?
The motor vehicle department and the state of Louisiana allows for 25 percent of light to be the standard baseline for legal tint on rear side windows and 12 percent on the rear windshield. You may apply tint at 40 percent on front side windows. Call Southern Tint and Audio to get an accurate estimate for your legal window tinting project.
