Photochromic, transition, reactolite or self-tinting, same lens, four names. Whatever you call them, these are lenses that darken automatically in sunlight and clear again indoors.
Here’s how the names map, so you know you’re in the right place.
Transition safety glasses: “Transitions” is actually a lens brand, the Kleenex of light-adaptive lenses so plenty of tradies search for transition safety glasses. Natty’s photochromic lenses do the same job in AS/NZS 1337.1 certified frames built for site work.
Reactolite safety glasses: Reactolite is the older UK brand name for the same technology, if that’s the word your old man used, these are them: certified, self-darkening, and made to be worn all day on the tools.
Self-tinting / auto-tinting safety glasses: the plain-English name. The lens reacts to UV, darkening in full sun in under a minute and fading back once you step inside, one pair that covers the ute, the site and the workshop without swapping.
