FAQ
The questions we actually get asked.
The product
Why crimson and not the usual pale amber?+
Depth of tint determines how much short-wavelength light is actually absorbed. Most clear or pale-amber lenses filter a small fraction of it. A deeper crimson filters far more, which is the entire point of wearing them at night.
Can I wear them during the day?+
You can, but there's no reason to. Daytime blue light is how your body knows it's daytime — that signal is doing its job. These are built for the hours after sunset.
Will everything look red?+
There's a strong tint for the first few minutes, then your vision adapts and you largely stop noticing. Colour-critical work — editing photos, matching paint — is not what these are for.
Do they work over prescription glasses?+
Not currently. The frame is designed to sit close to the face to block peripheral light. A fit-over version is on the list.
Shipping and returns
How long does shipping take?+
Orders leave within two business days. Delivery is typically 3–7 business days depending on where you are. Tracking is emailed as soon as it ships.
Do you ship internationally?+
Yes. International delivery takes longer and any customs charges are the recipient's responsibility.
What's the return policy?+
Thirty days from delivery, no questions asked, as long as the frame and case come back in resellable condition. Email us and we'll send a label.
What if the frame breaks?+
One-year warranty against manufacturing defects — hinges, rivets, lens separation. Sitting on them is not a manufacturing defect, but message us anyway and we'll see what we can do.
