What makes Spectron different?
Most brands offer mirrored lenses and photochromic lenses as separate products. Combining them into a single lens is technically challenging because each layer needs to work independently without compromising the others.
The photochromic technology must still receive UV light to adapt, the mirror needs to remain protected, and the lens must continue to deliver the optical clarity, polarisation and durability Spotters is known for.
After more than two years of research, development and testing, Spectron brings together four advanced technologies in a single Crown Glass lens, delivering performance that very few brands have attempted, and none have done it quite like this.
The Lens That Adapts So You Don't Have To
Australian conditions are constantly changing. Whether you're on the water at sunrise, driving between shade and sunlight, or spending a full day outdoors, light rarely stays the same.
That's why we’ve developed Spectron, a photochromic mirrored lens. Combining Crown Glass optics, polarisation, photochromic technology and a mirrored finish into a single lens system, it delivers exceptional clarity, glare reduction and comfort across changing conditions.
Photochromic Mirrored Technology
Our Spectron photochromic mirrored lenses feature a photochromic Crown Glass layer positioned at the front of the lens. It responds directly to UV light, automatically darkening in bright conditions and returning to a lighter tint as light levels decrease.
Because the photochromic layer sits at the front of the lens, UV reaches it unobstructed, allowing it to respond quickly and consistently throughout changing outdoor conditions.
Genuine Metallic Mirror
The genuine metallic mirror does more than create a striking appearance. It reflects intense brightness and radiant heat away from your eyes, helping improve comfort during long days outdoors.
Unlike traditional mirrored sunglasses where the reflective coating sits exposed on the surface, the mirror in our photochromic mirrored lenses is sealed between layers of Crown Glass. This construction protects the mirror from scratching, peeling and degradation, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Polarised Crown Glass
At the core of our Spectron lens is premium Polarised Crown Glass. Precision ground and optically refined, Crown Glass delivers crystal-clear vision, natural colour accuracy and distortion-free optics.
The integrated polarising filter cuts reflected glare from water, roads and other reflective surfaces, while the hardened glass construction provides outstanding scratch resistance for dependable performance in demanding outdoor environments.
What is Spectron?
Spectron is a photochromic mirrored lens that automatically adjusts its tint in response to UV light while combining the benefits of a genuine mirrored finish and premium polarised optics. It reduces reflected glare, reflects away harsh brightness and heat, and maintains clear, comfortable vision throughout changing light conditions.
What makes Spectron different?
Spectron is the first of its kind, combining photochromic technology, a genuine metallic mirror, polarised Crown Glass and UV400 protection in one premium lens. No other brand has achieved this combination of technologies. The mirror is permanently sealed between layers of Crown Glass, protecting it from scratches, peeling and everyday wear.
How does Spectron work?
The photochromic Crown Glass layer reacts directly to UV light, automatically darkening in bright conditions and returning to a lighter tint as UV exposure decreases. This allows the lenses to adapt throughout the day while maintaining exceptional clarity and visual comfort.
Is Spectron good for fishing, boating and driving?
Absolutely. Spectron is ideal for activities where light conditions constantly change. Polarised Crown Glass cuts reflected glare from water and roads, while the photochromic technology automatically adapts to changing UV levels, making them an excellent choice for fishing, boating, driving and everyday outdoor use.
Is Spectron polarised?
Yes. Spectron combines photochromic technology with polarised Crown Glass, helping reduce glare while adapting to changing light conditions. This unique combination delivers enhanced clarity, comfort and protection across a range of outdoor environments.
Does Spectron reduce glare?
Yes. The integrated polarising filter eliminates reflected glare from water, roads and other reflective surfaces, while the genuine metallic mirror helps reflect intense brightness and radiant heat away from your eyes. Together, they deliver sharper vision and reduced eye fatigue in demanding outdoor conditions.
