Why You Need a Tint Meter: A Closer Look at the TC1800 Tint-Chek
Let me ask you a simple question: Are you guessing... or are you testing?
Because if you're in the business of automotive tint, whether you're a pro installer, a car dealership, or law enforcement—you already know that:
- Guessing doesn’t cut it.
- “Eyeballing” gets people fined.
- And using cheap tools? That’s even worse.
What Is a Tint Meter?
A tint meter (also known as a tint checker, tint tester, or window tint reader) is a device that measures Visible Light Transmission (VLT) the amount of visible light that passes through a window. These readings are essential for tint testing, ensuring that vehicle windows meet legal standards.
Why Choose the TC1800?
The TC1800 Tint-Chek isn’t just any window tint measure tool. It's built for performance and convenience:
- No moving parts = less wear and tear
- Compact design fits in your pocket
- Digital precision with stable readings
- Ambient light compensation for accurate readings anywhere
- Large display that's easy to read in all conditions
This window tint meter is perfect for side window inspections and comes pre-calibrated with traceable standards. It even includes a carrying case and battery, ready to use right out of the box.
So, Let’s be clear!
If you’re law enforcement, you're not out there making guesses. You're enforcing the law—and that means knowing exactly what level of tint you’re dealing with. The TC1800 gives you hard numbers, instantly, without delay.
If you run a tint shop, every film you install is a reflection of your brand. The last thing you need is a customer getting pulled over because you trusted your gut instead of a reliable tint check tool. The TC1800 takes the guesswork out and replaces it with confidence.
Even if you’re just a car enthusiast who loves your ride—knowing your tint levels can mean the difference between staying legal and getting slapped with a fine. Why risk it?
