Vermilion. You can wear them under any lighting conditions from bright sun to night time.

They work well in high- and low light conditions. Remember, these are TRITIUM fiber optic. Plain fiber optic aren't as good in low light situations, but the glow of the tritium helps In low light. About the only problem I have I that the tritium sight only come in green or yellow, where the fiber optic is red on the front sight and green on the back. When I first started shooting, I thought the tritium was a bit much, but I've learned differently. It's a BIG difference.

Black. You can change it to red or green. Not a good scope. Won't hold zero.

All passive 3d glasses should be compatible. Other than red and cyan, of course.

Red does not effect night vision though i dont think the reticle in any color is enough to be a problem though i have seen people put tape over the fiber optic to dim the reticle. Its more a personal preference i think

I think that is more user preference. For myself I find that the green is more visible during the day. Others will say that green gets lost in the green foliage if you are by trees etc.. but I have never had a problem with that. The green in the scope is so much brighter than what nature throws at you. Another thing is cost, the red is usually more expensive.

I wear my Gamma Ray glasses daily at work to reduce the blue light & glare coming from the two computer monitors I use. They also reduce the brightness of the fluorescent lights which gave me daily headaches. There appears to be some type of reflective coating on them but not like a mirror, I assume this is what blocks the blue light from killing my eyes & has eliminated my headaches. The yellow is not strong/dark.........just enough to be effective. They are not meant to replace sunglasses, more for indoor purpose. Overall I am impressed with them.

I have found no differences between the different diffraction glasses that I have purchased from Amazon. I have been buying large quantities for a couple years now to pass out to 8th grade science students in an Expanding Your Horizons project that I volunteered for. We use them to describe how Optical Emission Spectroscopy works in our lecture called "Chemistry of Light" I have never even tried them under black light, but will look into that for future reference. Not sure about the actual diffraction grating sizes being used but we are just looking to get the children's interest sparked so we haven't been very scientific about it.

I have several pair of dark sun glasses, that's why I ordered these "shooting" glasses. They have 99.9% UV Blocking, that's what "fries" the retina, not the bright light. I "hate" dark sun glasses for anything beyond fishing from a boat in bright sun shine - then I can see through the dark lenses. I understand these yellow lenses are also good good at night -I had a pair but seldom drive at night.

I personally think they would perform perfectly, since mine do. You can always order them and check them out at dusk then if they don't work for you, return them. I would honestly consider the unarmored version as they are lighter but should be the same quality optics. I use the armored at night when I can't see holes in the ground and fall down a lot which messes up my unarmored binos. Go for it and let me know your decision.

HOYA or B&W. It's good to have some ND filters (reduce the amount of light to prevent blown out highlights and to be able to shoot at widest aperture while shooting during bright daytime) or circular polarizer (cut down the reflection/ and some light). UV filter is good only to protect the lens, in my opinion.

I use my Streamlight on my home protection handgun, so I actually prefer the red laser. Typically, green lasers are better for brighter/outdoor environments, and I bought this product specifically for indoor and predominantly night time defense. The LED light is plenty bright, and the red laser is still highly visible, even when the light is on. I would think that red would actually be more visible than green in this case. All in all, I am very satisfied with the performance and price of this product.

I bought the clear glasses and I love them. I have seen the colored ones and I think the glass is colored. But the clear ones are beautiful when colored liquid is in them.

They work very well in bright light or overcast outdoor lighting. They light up like they are battery operated as long as they have some sort of light to illuminate the fiber optic tube. In the dark they work just like any tritium night sight. During the low light times where there is not any overhead ambient, or artificial light and it isn't yet dark enough for the tritium to help out, they are as hard to see as any other sight. No single handgun sight is going to be perfect for all lighting situations, but these are as close as your going to get with current technology. I have these sights on all four of my Glocks and I really like them. They work very well in bright light or overcast outdoor lighting.

I would not recommend it. The tint would also reduce pavement markings that are faded and may cause one to cross the center line or stray too far to the right and get pulled into a soft shoulder. Better to purchase night vision driving glasses like marksmen wear at target practice. They have yellow polarized lenses and make night driving safe. You can get regular glasses, clip ons or goggles to wear over prescription glasses.

I just received my order. Right on the side of the box for Model DPG28 it has a label that says: "99.9% UVA-UVB Protection." Can we please just retain what we "think" and only share what we know? I was wondering this same thing before I ordered, and the comment below almost caused me to not purchase them. Then I figured that it would almost be impossible to have darkened lenses that don't offer any such protection, so I looked it up online and found a vague answer saying that they did offer some kind of protection. Very pleasantly surprised to see that they offer such thorough protection!

They all have a tint to them because they have 100% UV protection. I swim in indoor pool so UV protection is irrelevant but the tint is really minimal. I love those goggles. I do not think you can find better goggles for the price.
