If thier was such a film that reversed at nighttime ...I'd have been a millionaire by now

The only thing you can do is have a greater light soure on the outside at night and keep it darker on the inside by dimming lights or having a darker film on the inside as well(as long as thier not thermopane (I do this more for interior windows) .

No matter what you do (unless thiers a product out thier that I'm currently unaware of) your going to hinder the vision looking out at night

We have had customers that have installed extra lighting outside to shine onto the glass area at night.

That has worked....

To get that "ONE WAY MIRROR POLICE LINE UP LOOK."

first you need to tint the glass with MIRROR tint then back it with something like 5% limo. now here is the tricky part, the lights on the inside of the room need to be off or VERY DIM and there needs to be some type of a light shining on the outside of the glass.

thats the only way your gonna get what you want. nobody makes a magic film for that purpouse at night time.

DURING the day the effect will work but at night time you need to play with the lighting some to get that effect.

Yea, the silver with dark auto works well, or something like sunscape select sl-180. You still need a bit of exterior lighting. I did a job a few months ago, a restaraunt along a rough, seedy street had a problem with people staring in and the sl-180 worked brilliantly. With street lighting and candle lit interior, there was no way you could see in.

Stu!!! There are NO DECISION only with films. They must use also lamps. Film is reflective & make unseen behind to the side where is MORE LIGHT. Nothing more.
