Light sensitive insert?

Does anyone know if these things actually work or not?
Sounds like a novel idea but I am skeptical as to how effective they really are, just wanted to see if there was anyone out there who has tried it?

Can't say I have seen them in action, but can't see any reason why they wouldn't work (just the same technology as transitional glass which has been around for 40 odd years )

I have had 4 to date.
They work well till the first time you need to clean them.
They are no substitute for sunglasses or a tinted visor but they help on a day when the glare is too much for just sunglasses or it is overcast.

Their best use and the reason I have had 4 is because if fitted according to instructions they will never fog under any circumstances I have encountered.

They work Moderately Well, but it's no replacement for a tinted visor aye.

Like Big Dog mentioned, it's the fitting which is crucial, get it wrong and you get drops of water/condensation inside the insert and your visor. No good!

You have to remember also the shape of your visor makes a big difference. If it's extremely contoured or thin, it could have trouble staying stuck. Try it out any give it a go and see what works!

There's virtually no tint on them. And when the sun gets brighter, there's even less tint.

Use sunnies or a tinted visor.

However, they're fantastic for anti-fogging.

I've got something similiar,supposed to go darker but you can hardly tell the difference.Got mine to stop visor fogging.Does make opening my visor a two handed affair now as it catches on the top helmet edge.
