what does "light" mean, black in color, but the ability to see through?

Well light is sort of the opposite of dark. Tints come in all sorts of shades. My tint is Huber Optik drei. Go to the Eye Candy link linked in my sig to see my tint. My Huber Optik tint, while light in shade, provides superior heat and light rejection.
