Sorry if this has been discussed before. If so, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

I need advice on what lens color to use in low light conditions. Currently I have a pair of grey lens 7-eye polarized glasses, which work great when the sun is out.

When the sun is not out, however, I can see better without the glasses than with Guess it blocks too much light.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Here a page to check lots of lens tents with description of them and simulation in different condition environments.

In the "polarized" section

AMBER for flat to medium light and contrast.

I use amber tint for rain-cloudy-evenings but not oakleys

I use Maui Jim prescription lenses on my sunglasses. I love amber for daylight but it doesn't work work well under dusk or dawn light conditions. I recently switched to rose-colored which is similar in daylight but somewhat better under low light; however, I am still not satisfied. Maui Jim makes HT lenses (High Transmission) for low light conditions. I don't think there is one color that will work well for all light situations, so I am probably looking at eventually using two pairs. I have an old pair that I could get new lenses for. In the meantime, I'll probably be taking my glasses off when there is very little light.

Yellow for low light.

Copper or amber work really well in low light. They are the most useful all-around lens color for bass fishing, IMO.

I believe strongly in keeping some sort of eyewear on at all times when bass fishing, especially when you're not alone. It may save you from a hook in the eye.

I like amber for cloudy days when it isn't too dark out. When it's really low light conditons I switch to yellow lenses.

This thread got me looking again and I found polarized glasses that are CLEAR but I thought(from other readings) polarized lenes had to be tinted to some degree.

If they work this should be good for night/protection use?

Some in this thread have suggested the use of copper and amber for low light conditions. I think that maybe we aren't rating the lenses using the same tests. I can see fine with amber lenses in low light until I need to be able to see down into the water. They don't work so well for me when there are shadows on the water. I have used amber lenses for the last few years, and at dusk, I cannot see down into the water very well. The difference between daytime and dusk is striking. I do know that yellow lenses, as suggested, brighten things up a bit and the new High Transmission lenses are designed specifically for this purpose. I have read that the best colors for low-light are yellow, orange, clear, and rose. I am using rose now, and while they appear to work better than amber to see down into the water in low light, I still want something better. I have also read that polarization doesn't eliminate glare as well when the sun is low on the horizon so maybe poorer vision into the water is a natural characteristic of polarization when the suns rays are horizontal.

To each his own, but I disagree that copper works well in low light conditions. Bad choice for that in my opinion. In bright light, copper is great though. The lenses on my Costa Del Mar Man-o-War glasses are copper and in low light I hate 'em. Have an old pair of amber lens Hobie's that are MUCH better in low light but I'm gonna replace those, probably with a rose colored lens. Rose is pretty nice in low light.
