Photochromic lenses actually react much more quickly in colder temperatures. At very high temperatures, they may barely react at all, or take much longer to darken.

Thank you, you are absolutely right. I had to look at a research paper to understand... www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7259785/

What's the brand and model of your eye glasses frame?

Tom Ford. Not sure about particular model but this is high nose bridge one for Asian nose shape.

Did you add extra coatings like anti reflective?
@TheGizmoGarageАй бұрын
Yes, Anti Reflective and Anti-Scratch coating added. I would always suggest anti reflective coating to reduce glare which can be seen from behind the lenses

Does a phone or monitor screen get hard to see when polarization is active?
@TheGizmoGarageАй бұрын
@@Hamzeee28 phone or monitor nope. They don’t emit enough UV to change the color of the lens. Also polarization is somewhat weak when it is activated under the sun so no worries about the lens getting dark inside or over the LCD screen

@TheGizmoGarage awesome! Thanks, some of my screens are hard to see with my sunglasses with polarized lenses so this is some next level technology! Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

They use different polarisation direction, so should be no problem at all

Got the XTRactive polarized lenses 2 years ago. They are, indeed, polarized to some extent, which means that I can use them for specific outdoor activities for instance fishing. However, behind a car windscreen they perhaps darken 1%? Fake advertisement. Do not choose these lenses if you think they will be both glasses and sunglasses when driving, this is certainly wrong.
@TheGizmoGarageАй бұрын
Yeah, they do get darkened, so I don't have to squint my eyes inside my car; that's the only benefit. I would get the Transition Drivewear that is always polarized for driving specifically.
@sylvaindany-lewandowski39Ай бұрын
They certainly don't darken, even with a front clear sunshine. Hardly a tiny bit. I've experienced this in several vehicles. Even placing them flat under the windscreen! I will try the drivewear ones, although they seem to be difficult to get (in UK), I've been looking around for a while.

I have to agree that I'm disappointed with how little they darken inside vehicles. I hope eventually they create something better.
