Used it in a cosplay and it was fantastic, blocked out the light but I could see no problem

Not as dark as I'd hoped, but does the job. Easy to apply. Just remember to buy application tools as none are supplied.

Item description makes is sound like it’s very dark tint, almost black out room darkening. That is not the case. It’s approx a 50% tint. So doesn’t darken the room that much. As others have reviewed, it also does distort the view through the film a bit, so you can’t see things in clear focus.I didn’t realize that until after the product was installed and trimmed.Easy installation, just use plenty of spray water with detergent on the glass and both sides of the film, then apply film with and squeegee and trim.Check the darkness before you install it !

Found film super complicated to install. Took 2 people to install, but it wasn't even sticky enough to stick onto window. When done, I found it to be too dark than expected, and also it fell off after a day. Terrible product, please buy other window filmsupdate: it fell off after a week. Did not stick to window at all, was so flimsy.

Ignore what others say, if you know what your doing you dont need no tool kit. Just need wet cloth wipe the window before putting it up and a credit or some kind of card to smooth air pockets out. Its stupid easy. Also ruler to measure the peice you need, sissors to cut, we used hairdressing scissors they cut great! Weve had this film on our bedroom windows for 3 years, never once had to replace, easy to wipe clean. If any corners come down whech weve not had happen just dampen window and press back on. Bought this again for additional windows offers very nice dimness dure the day, no hurting your eyes to look out the window on sunny day, and perfect darkness at night!

Es la segunda vez que compro esta película polarizada la verdad muy fácil de instalar, y muy manejable, y el sol aún no disminuye la el color de la película, la solicite en color "Black" y todo perfecto.

First and foremost, this film is not as dark as what is shown in the description.Second, this is actually a good thing (for me) since my bedroom theater is now dark enough to use my 84" projector display without any added glare from the sun. (Any darker and it would be too depressing).In fact, when I first installed it, my girlfriend didn't readily notice. After waking up the following morning (post-installation), she asked me, "What time is it? Why does it feel so late in the day?"I responded... "It's only 11am 🤔."It wasn't until she roamed around the apartment several hours later when she finally realized I had 'tinted' the windows in my bedroom.That said... She actually thinks it's too dark. For my batcave, however, it's perfect 😎👌Honestly... Any darker and you might as well get blackout window film (which was not something I wanted).With this film, I can still see what's going on outside my window in the daytime, with added privacy. It also proved to be the perfect dimming solution for viewing my HD projector display during the day time.To get a better idea of what it looks like...I'd say it feels like a dark storm is coming. Even though it's sunny outside, it forever feels cloudy inside. It's definitely enough to fool your senses into believing it's much later in the day than it really is.)Dawn feels like early dusk; sunrise will feel more like sunset.For me, this is perfect, not only for watching movies, but to also zone out and study for long hours without being distracted with wanting to go out to play in the sun.Application tips:1) An old spray bottle with a few drops of dish detergent is all you need to make the film 'stick'.2) Make sure you scrub and scrape your windows clean before applying the film.3) Since I didn't have a squeegee, I used my dust pan (which had a rubber liner). Some say a credit card works, but I think something more squeegee like definitely will make your life easier and will help to smooth out the bubbles in one swipe.3) I used a 'scraper' with a razor blade to scape the window clean, and used the same razor to trim the excess film after applying.4) When you trim the excess, leave about 2-3 mm of excess; the window film will shrink a little after a day or so, so if you you trim too 'perfectly' you may windup with a small gap between the window film and the edge of the window.Honestly, the most important part of applying the film is to REALLY clean the window. Take time to clean the window frame as well, since ANY lingering dirt may seep between the film and the window -- causing it the bubble up.That said...I applied the film in the following steps:1) Measured and cut the film to fit the window. (Didn't worry much about excess).2) Scraped every inch of the window with a razor blade scraper.3) Washed the window and trimming with mild soapy solution (w/dish detergent).4) Scrapped again (for added measure).5) Sprayed window excessively with mild soapy solution.6) Squeegeed7) Sprayed the window with the soapy solution again.8) Applied the film.9) Sprayed the film (on window) with soapy solution.10) Sqeegeed to remove the bubbles.11) Trimmed the excess with razor blade.*I also placed an old towel on the bottom of window to catch all the excess water.That's it!For the price, I couldn't be happier.Although I would give this 4.5 stars for the misleading darker tint Shown in the description, I'll give it 5, since it served my purpose perfectly. Any darker would probably cause clinical depression (for me).That said, if you think you need something darker... you can always try doubling up (by layering it), or trying the 'blackout' film.Hope this helps with your purchase decision.Peace & Love 😎✌️

My new home is full of south and west facing windows. While the sunlight is wonderful it was making the house very warm and I was concerned about it fading curtains and furniture. After much research I decided that this film would be our best choice as it would not only block the UV light but also provide some heat control. As an added bonus they also have provided us with some added privacy. In the attached photo the film is already on the oval window in the door and the side windows, The upper transom and the upper arched window are plain - they have not had the film applied yet. You can see the difference in the amount of light coming into the windows.The film is very easy to install if you have measured correctly and have a very sharp blade. Installing this film was time consuming and tedious, but it was not difficult. Using sharp scissors I cut the film (backing still attached) slightly bigger than the windows and then trimmed the film to size directly on the window using a razor blade. I covered all the windows in my home and went through several blades in the process. I can't stress enough how important sharp blades are as the film would start to tear on me with a dull blade. I did not purchase an installation kit, but used plenty of window cleaner and a square kitchen gizmo designed to scrape pans. I did install all of them alone, but if you have larger or high windows I would recommend having help to hold the film in place as you smooth it onto the window.Once the film was installed in the first room, we measured the window temperature using a point and shoot temperature gun. There was a 15 degree difference between the windows with film and without. That is what convinced us to do the entire house. This is a new home to us, so I can't say how much we saved compared to previous years but the house felt considerable cooler over the summer. The pros are the temperature reduction, UV protection and privacy (you can see out but it's very hard to see much more than outline when looking in). The cons are a loss of that sunny light bright look - which could probably be altered if you chose a different level, we chose black. Overall I would recommend this to someone looking for heat control film, just prepare well and you will be fine.
