What is the difference between LES 361 heat control film (platinum) and LEG361 heat control film (light)? Want to apply to skylights.

The "light" is a bit less tinted & allows for more natural light to come through. The Platinum is almost a Mirror type finish from the outside & it reflects 90% or better of the light & glare from outside not to mention the UV rays that heat up the house. I would use the Heat Control Platinum on the skylights to reduce the heat coming in myself. I used it on my front windows that are floor to ceiling length to cut the glare from the snow reflective brightness (Here in Montana) it's now about 8pm here & I have ample light from the front windows to read & type without any issues. hope this helps The "light" is a bit less tinted & allows for more natural light to come through.

In my research of Gila products, the LEG361 Heat Control Film (Light) has a lighter shade of tint than the LES361 Heat Control Film (Platinum). As you can guess, the lighter shade of tint on the LEG361 Heat Control Film (Light) does not offer the same degree of UV and heat reduction as the LES361 Heat Control Film (Platinum). The LES361 Heat Control Film (Platinum) offers the highest percentage of UV ray blockage and heat gain reduction of all the Gila window film products.

I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily. I have it in my living room that has 2 6ft openings on each end. It heats this room well but takes a little time to get there. I use to maintain temp in the room. It is located below my thermostat. in a more closed in area it would really heat well. I plan to get another for basement when I finish off a room. the remote works well. This is my second heating season with it. blower is a touch loud but not bad. I turn up TV just a bit. But its not annoying in any way. I get lots of compliments on it. I recommend it

I do not know. However, we are using a decorate 2 stage indoor/outdoor bulb that is shaped like a candle flame. It is very pretty. The 2 stage allows the light to be on at night with a dimmer light. This stays on as long as it is dark. When a person reaches the sensor area the brighter stage of the light comes on.We purchased 4 units and are very pleased with them - no problems what so ever.

looking at these items on ebay - the main difference seems to be dial control or digital control. My original one was a digital control (not like this new model) and honestly the problem I had was the digital button broke and I couldn't control heat. That is why I chose the dial this time

The PD35 is noticeably cheaper, but doesn't have the illumination intensity that the UC40 does, and has one less level of light intensity to choose from (i.e., the brighter intensity). The PD35 is a bit smaller and lighter. I got one of those just to put in my car for emergencies.

Can't really say which. I use it only for lights and they make no difference.

My heated mattress pad (for a Sunbeam Twin XL) has one control. The picture must be of a pad for a larger bed.

Thank you for asking such a great question Ken! Please be advised that Skypanels are acrylic panels that replace the existing panels in your current light fixture. However, please know that Skypanels do not come with a metal retainer around the panel. We hope this helps! Wishing you a wonderful day! :)

Lighter side up - to reflect light/heat Darker side up - to heat pool Hope this makes sense

Look at the ThermoPop model from the same manufacturer if backlighting is important to you. Same price range and specifications, just a different design + backlighting.

there is no difference. the key is "lite" strips will only work with "lite" meter.

Dear Amazon User, I installed clear, colorless UV blocking film from Gila on the bottom row of my french window (with 4 rows) because the light only came through the bottom row due to the overheng of my roofline. I found that I cannot see any difference in the coated windows versus the uncoated. It is quite undetectable. Ken in So Cal.

I can't tell since it came in a brown, unmarked box with only installation instructions. However, it does seem to be similar to the LEG361 which I also bought. I compared them side by side and they appear similar enough that I can't tell the difference. But I'm not claiming in any way they're the same. I tried asking the seller if they're the same and all I got was a vague reply and I believe a url to a marketing piece. The vlt for the LEG361 shows for single/double glaze as .38/.35.

The test line HAS to be as dark or darker than the control line. You will always have two lines, but the test line is what you need to be dark or darker than the other.

not sure, i bought the white sided so it would be more light in my garage. I have used both, i see no difference.

I need to revise my answer. Gila's FAQ states the following,which is not totally in agreement with their posted residential instructions: "Do I apply the film on the inside or outside of the window?See Residential Film Application Instruction sheetApply Heat Control films to the INSIDE only.Apply Privacy Mirror and Frosted films to the INSIDE only.Apply the Glare Control films to the INSIDE of single-pane windows, and to the OUTSIDE of dual-pane windows.If you have exterior (outside) removable storm panes, apply the film to the INSIDE of the storm pane.If you have interior (inside) removable storm panes, apply the film to the INSIDE of the fixed window, and not the storm pane."

Gary, I have previously been running the SilverStar Ultra bulbs. During the changover to the NightHawk Platinum, I had a SilverStar Ultra in the right headlight, and the NightHawk Platinum in the left headlight. Since this was night time without other light sources nearby, I put the headlights on to test. In, both high and low beam, the SilverStar Ultra appeared a shade whiter and brighter than the NightHawk Platinum in my 1995 Isuzu Rodeo. Winner - SilverStar Ultra.
