Product description

The dark-adaption glasses protect against glare from extraneous light of any sort.

You know the problem - every time you are dazzled by white light, your eyes' dark adaptation process has to start all over again. Whether it's a car driving past, a notebook display that is too bright, or an astrophotographer not paying sufficient attention to the visual observers around him when setting up his equipment.

Stop getting dazzled! The glasses are so designed that light cannot get through them either from the front or the sides. The arms can be adjusted in length. You can keep the glasses on during the entire observing session, just pushing them up and out of the way when you want to look through the telescope - it's that simple!

All displays can still be seen perfectly well, and in high contrast, in dark red. The red displays on telescope equipment remains perfectly legible.

Included in delivery - glasses, sturdy case, cleaning cloth, retaining strap.

Our expert comment:

You will receive the original product from us, not a copy!

The original noctutec dark adaptation glasses are dark red and have a sticker on the side. They come with a black case, a red glasses strap, a cleaning cloth and safety instructions.

Some of the counterfeit products are a completely different colour. No layperson can tell in which wavelength range these glasses work. Furthermore, these cheap copies have very sharp edges that can easily cause injury. The arms are also of poor quality and appear wobbly and loose. The lenses are sometimes badly scratched and wavy.

Actually quite usefull

Quite useful accessory for visual observers. They are good at blocking light from occasional nearby traffic on my observing site or when I need to look at the screen of smartphone.
I have to remove 1 star from review because they could be a little more comfortable for us with big noses.
