Two questions in one I did order had a hard time deciding this or other unit with eye lens and lock. 1. I called Spectroline and they said no authorized distributors on Amazon and was probably NOT a NEW unit. 2. After repeated use will the UV bleach or...

Pretty sure my was new, packaging and unit looked new. Don't know about the UV bleaching or damaging plastic, my guess is will cause as much damage as sunlight, so minimal to none depending on the quality of the plastic. Don't know about LCD screens, my guess is no, but why would you use it on a LCD screen in the first place?

Like you, I have to wear sunglasses with my prescription in them. I have always had a problem looking at the LCD screens with my sunglasses on. What I do, is take my sunglasses off, and rely on the EVF. I am lost without it, especially with my vision. I think I get better photos that way.

I spoke with my optomistrist, and she indicated that she knew of no eye condition that would prevent a person from using this type of light. She actually encouraged it. She did recommend that each person check with their own eye doctor, and if there was any discomfort at all, to discontinue use. She also advised against staring right in the light, but rather, let it shine on the side of your face.

So why did Smart Guard run me around in circles, when they KNEW it was a lens issue? I thought this "warranty" I purchased covered everything I paid for in my bundle. Now I'm totally confused ~ so is my S.G. worthless? I went around in circles with these jerks for 3 weeks and nobody knew anything. I had to be relentless & call every single day & ask how my claim was going, until they finally sent me a box with a lable. Now I'm not sure that they'll even touch it, after reading here that they won't fix lenses. I say B.S., they WILL fix my lens ~ that is all I've told them about for 3 weeks & they know about it. God, these people are the worst to deal with ~ I never would have bought this "warranty" & I use that term loosely. These guys are the absolute worst. If you're considering buying this empty, worthless money pit, DO NOT DO IT!

Hi, thanks for your question. I'm sorry that you were charged more than you thought you would pay for the lens. In this situation, I'd suggest contacting our Customer Service Team directly as they will be able to see your order and if it was ordered from a seller or directly from Amazon.com. Here's a link to our Contact Us page:

Mine has lasted 2 years now. When you installed it you did not touch the lamp at all with your fingers and transfer anything to the lamp face? That maybe could create a hot spot and it burned out? Sometimes there is just a defect. When I first installed it I must have jarred the optical block so I had a rose tint across the top of the screen about 3 inches down. After a while you learn to ignore it, but I noticed recently that the line is gone. I moved the set a bit recently to get at a side connector and I am wondering whether that jarred something back in place. Now I won't move the set at all until the bulb dies again or something else goes south.

I questioned that also, the reply was no! It was suggested I buythe one with crystalline. Almost finished my first bottle, sometimes I see a lot more color. I'm not there yet, stilloptimistic though. Wish you all luck!

Thanks for your tip. Some sellers (in amazon) do not include "UD" in their description. Should we buy the one with UD lens or without?

I initially had the same issue. I think I just kept going in the ordering process and the choice eventually came up... I bought another pair of computer glasses at the same time. By Retro Eyeworks. I find them much gentler on my eyes and they don't distort the color the way Gamma Ray does.

I have been trying to find the 90 lumen model everywhere (the one without the silver ring) and have ordered one from Amazon and one from ebay. Both came with the silver ring and both were 125 lumens. I want the regular one, as pictured, for a more tactical look. That silver ring is gaudy. I can't find it anywhere. Best bet is to buy on bunbroker.com with actual pics of the individual unit being sold.

It is up to you and your prescription lens provider. You can add UV protection to the clear lens when you order them. I did not as I assumed I would have the sunglasses "down" most of the time. I do add UV protection to my normal glasses that I wear every day.

I don't know where you can purchase a lens. My suggestion would be to email Guard Dog Security flashlight manufacturing and tell them what happened and ask if they have a free lens replacement program. Don't offer to purchase the replacement lens in that first email as you will want to see what they are willing to offer in the way of customer service free replacement before you offer to "buy" a replacement lens. Best wishes to you in your endeavors!

I have used the same case for both bottles for years but I find I am now experiencing a lot of eye infections necessitating changing contacts AND cases more often. It certainly gave me cause to wonder if using the same case past a single bottle was the reason for infections but what choice do we have when we can't get them? It's even worse if you buy the solution through Sam's Club. Their bottles are even larger so you use the case that much longer. I wrote Ciba Vision today in the hopes of getting the cases back on the shelf. Hope it works.

The Canadian Distributor told me that they were closed when he refused me warranty coverage. Ms. Solomon never answered any of my inquiry e-mails. I could not find the physical location of this company with Google street view. If this company is still in business, please tell me so that I can get warranty coverage. 3/4 of my units should have been repaired/replaced under warranty. Thanx...

"Whoa!" The Auto darkening mechanism should be in working order prior to purchase. Mine seems to be working just fine. Itʻll be a good idea / note: to customer service. Thanks for the heads-up just the same.

I own and operate a mobile sunless only business. We bought two of these machines and have yet to use.them in a professional manner other than testing them. That being said I've only ever used an airbrush.compressor & gun {iwata} so I'm not used to the spray gun or its technique. So I find it extremely awkward and difficult to do tans this way, the machine itself when turned on isn't able to use the "low" setting nothing comes out of the gun so only works on medium and high settings. Only comes with one cup & finding replacement cups is very hard as well as expensive. The solutions that it comes with offer a beautiful color BUT ARE PURE CRUD {do not fade well at all& your clients will.complain of being blotchy} so I recommend never using them professionally. The company was very nice and offered a no hassel return however due to shipping cost we decided to keep both machines. Will they over heat? You would be able to tan at least two clients one right after the other with no problem. I personally would turn off and wait a few before moving on to more.
