LaunchPad: Spectacle Lenses Blackfin Debuts Blackfin Luminar Polarized Lenses By Staff Tuesday, May 28, 2019 10:06 AM Quick Take: Blackfin has introduced its innovative sun lens with the creation of Luminar, "the lightest polarized lenses in the world, but with the visual quality of glass," the company said. Specifics: Blackfin's new lens features a super-light quality that takes sunglasses to the next level. "Underlying the advances in manufacturing is a distillation of state-of-the-art technologies. The thin polarizing filter is actually integrated into the lens without the use of glue or low-quality adhesive film. This innovative breakthrough prevents distortion and tension, setting Blackfin Luminar apart from all other eyewear products," Blackfin stated. Selling Points: Blackfin Luminar lenses feature a completely oleophobic surface. They are also water repellent, scratch-resistant and anti-reflective. The Luminar lens not only passes the drop-ball test but also passes the most stringent test in the world in the field of protective lenses, the ANSI Z87.1 speed/hi-mass impact test, that ensures a lens is completely bulletproof. Blackfin sunglasses with Luminar lenses can be for both style and function as they are designed for active leisure pursuits like driving or for use under a helmet to ensure excellent visual performance. www.blackfin.eu
