A modular window for use in a vehicle, such as an airborne vehicle, is provided. The modular window includes a suspended particle device ("SPD") film, the SPD film making up one of the lenses of the modular The window typically includes an opaque shade movable between an opened and closed position, in spaced apart relation to the reveal mounted SPD lens. The opaque shade can move between an open and closed position with the opaque shade. In an open position, the light passing through the modular window unit is controlled by controlling the opacity of the SPD lens. When the opaque shade is in a closed position, the opaque shade substantially prevents any light from passing through the modular window unit regardless of the opacity of the SPD lens.
