Can anyone identify how much tinting will affect night visibility?

Has anyone tried the (practically) clear Crystalline automotive "tint" from 3M? I like looking through clear glass (especially at night). This seems to do a lot of what tint does without the dark tint. Here is what they say:
- A clear breakthrough in automotive window films. The Crystalline Series rejects more heat than many dark films without changing the appearance of your vehicle, making it the superior choice for comfort.
- Light tint rejects up to 60% of solar energy and up to 97% of heat-producing infrared rays for the ultimate in comfort.
- Designed to enhance your view by allowing visible light into your vehicle while keeping heat out, so you can see clearly and safely.
- Non-metallized window film lets you stay connected with mobile devices, GPS or satellite radio reception without interference.
- Blocks up to 99% of ultraviolet (UV) light to provide a total Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 1000 for you and your passengers.
- Sold and installed by 3M Authorized Dealer Installers, our films are durable, virtually maintenance-free and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

This sounds like it could be great for someone like me who doesn't really want a dark type tint. Wondering if anyone here has tried it?

We only have tinted windows in the salon and Galley, not in the pilot house. i want to have clear vision when we have to steer the boat from the pilot house.
The salon has 35 % tint, which means only 35 % of the light comes through.
It did not make a big difference in temperature compared to the non tinted windows, but it made a huge difference with people staring into the boat during day time.
What product is your tinting material?
Our installer was going on about how some are for privacy, some are for UV/IR attenuation, not the same thing.
