Ranges taken from manufacturer documentation; the values of a specific product may differ. [9][10][11][12]
| Property | Typical value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Drive voltage | 36–65 V AC, 50/60 Hz (low-voltage films from ± 24 V) | Via transformer/driver from mains (100–240 V) |
| Power consumption | ± 3–7 W/m² (0.3–0.7 W/ft²) | Only in the on state |
| Switching time | tens of milliseconds to < 0.1 s | Slower at low temperatures |
| Light transmission on | ± 70–85 % | Measured on the film |
| Light transmission off | ± 50–70 % | Most light still comes through, scattered |
| Haze on / off | ± 3–10 % / > 90 % | Haze = percentage of scattered light |
| UV blocking | > 98 % | Protects interiors from fading |
| Operating temperature | ± −10/−20 °C to +60/70 °C | Above the clearing point the film turns clear or grey |
| Film thickness | ± 0.3–0.4 mm | Self-adhesive, including adhesive layer |
| Maximum width | ± 1.2–1.8 m (roll width) | Larger areas with seams or several panels |
| Lifespan | manufacturers state 5–10+ years, hundreds of thousands to millions of switching cycles | Depends on UV, heat and humidity |
