VLT

What is VLT?

VLT = Visible Light Transmission. It is the percentage of visible light that passes through the lens. A lower percentage gives a darker view; a higher percentage gives a brighter view.

VLT describes lens brightness. Check the lens specifications for this variant.

This lens provides UV400 protection. Lower VLT gives a darker view; it does not mean stronger UV protection. Photochromic lenses retain UV400 protection in both lighter and darker states.

LENS FAQ

Questions about this lens

Does this lens provide UV400 protection?

Yes. All TINHAO lens types provide UV400 protection against UVA and UVB wavelengths up to 400 nm, including yellow-tint lenses and photochromic lenses in both lighter and darker states. VLT describes visible-light transmission; it does not measure UV protection.

Should I choose Light Yellow or Deep Yellow?

Choose Light Yellow for higher light transmission and lower-light conditions. Choose Deep Yellow when more daylight is available and greater light reduction is preferred.

Can a light yellow lens still be polarized?

Yes. Lens darkness and polarization are separate properties.

Do yellow lenses provide electronic night vision?

No. They do not create additional light or turn darkness into daylight. Review the listed VLT and usage guidance for the selected lens.
