Description
Description
The Linshang LS160 solar film tester checks light transmission and UV/IR rejection in thin window films. A 530 nm visible-light channel, 365 nm UV source and 940 nm infrared source provide three readings on a pocket-sized instrument for film demonstrations and sample comparisons.
Compare thin film samples at 940 nm
The LS160 accepts samples less than 0.8 mm thick. Insert a flat film sample into the narrow opening to view visible-light transmission, ultraviolet rejection and infrared rejection together. This suits loose automotive solar film and other transparent film samples within the thickness limit.
The infrared reading describes the sample at the meter’s 940 nm peak wavelength. When comparing different films, keep the instrument, sample placement and test conditions consistent. The visible-light channel has a 530 nm peak, so use that same channel specification when comparing results with another tester.

Start with an empty slot and hold the result
Switch on with the opening empty so the meter can complete its self-calibration. The empty-slot display should show VLT at 100% and UVR/IRR at 0% before inserting the sample. Keep the optical opening clear and position each sample consistently for repeat checks.
A short press of ON/Hold locks the displayed result for reading after the sample is removed. Release hold to resume measurement. The backlit LCD supports viewing the three readings, and automatic power-off follows three minutes without a button press.
Choose the channel for your comparison
Select LS160 when the required infrared comparison is at 940 nm. Its paired LS160A model uses a 1400 nm infrared source. The listed ±2% accuracy applies to colorless, transparent material; colored samples and optical coatings can give lower measurement accuracy.
