Spectrum NEO

The series that runs from greenish clear to properly dark — and rejects more heat than any other film we make.

NEO is the range's problem solver. It starts at 20, a greenish clear film at 62% visible light transmission that still turns away 92% of infrared — clear, yet it rejects more heat than most dark window films. It ends at 80: 6% VLT, real privacy, and the most heat any Spectrum film rejects — 93% infrared, 80% total solar energy.

All of it is non-metallic, so nothing in it touches your phone, GPS or keyless entry, and its green cast makes the car look more elegant and upmarket. One series, and you can tint an entire car with it — light at the front where the rules are strict, dark behind. The full performance data is below, and downloadable.

93% Infrared rejected NEO 80 — the highest in the Spectrum range, with 80% TSER

  • The most heat we stop

    NEO 80 rejects 93% of infrared and 80% of total solar energy — the highest figures in the range, with no metal in the film. NEO 20 still turns away 92% at 62% VLT: darkness and heat rejection really are separate problems.

  • Clear through to dark

    The only Spectrum series that spans the whole range: 20 is a greenish clear windshield film at 62% VLT, 80 is a proper privacy tint at 6%.

  • A green cast, on purpose

    NEO carries a distinctive green tone — pronounced in the 20, an elegant hint in the darker shades. It's what makes the glass look like glass rather than a panel stuck over it.

  • Heat that climbs with darkness

    Total solar energy rejection runs cleanly up the range, from 60% to 80%. Pick the shade you want to look at and the heat performance follows.

One series, the whole car

Clearest on the left, darkest on the right. All four are nano carbon: NEO 20 is the greenish clear shade for windshields and front glass, the darker three for the doors and back.

WHY THE GREEN?

Most films aim for dead neutral and land on a flat grey. NEO doesn't — it carries a green tone, obvious in the 20 and a faint hint in the darker shades, and that's a deliberate choice rather than a compromise.

Green sits in the middle of what the eye is most sensitive to, so a film tuned that way keeps a view looking natural instead of drained. On the car it reads as depth in the glass rather than a layer on top of it. Put NEO 20 on a windshield in the simulator and look out through it — that's the difference the tone makes.

Nano carbon films

NEO sits alongside UV 400 and Black. All three absorb infrared in the film and leave your electronics alone.

HOW DOES IT LOOK ON MY CAR?

NEO is the series most worth trying shade by shade, because it covers so much ground. Put each one on the glass, look out through it, then take the result to an installer.

Performance figures are laboratory values for the film itself; results on your vehicle depend on the glass. Some tint levels are restricted on windshields and front windows — ask a Spectrum installer about the rules where you drive.
