Method 7 glasses and Ray bans are not even close to being the same! Have you ever worn a real pair of Method 7 glasses, im not talking about the cheap knock offs at the grow shop for $20. Go into a grow room with at least 600 watts, try the ran bans you have and then try the approiate Method 7 glasses. You'll change your mind.

method 7’s only benefit is they are color calibrated to different grow lights so your plants look more natural. Any dark polarized sunglasses with polycarbonate lenses will block all harmful uv, you don’t need expensive brand names.

In a grow room environment, sunglasses make things worse by darkening all the light, so you squint less, but you still can’t see color, and it’s even more difficult to focus. Other grow light glasses attempt to color balance the extreme light spectrum but use cheap plastic lenses with very poor clarity that distort light and are hazy or blurry.

They also have full protection from UV, UVA, UVB and UVC. They use mineral glass lens that virtually eliminate the strobe effect from HPD and MH lights. "Copied from Method 7 website"

Ok ok, you've convinced me to consider buying one of your products in the future.

Or not.

Like I said previously, M7's primary benefit is they are color calibrated to specific grow light spectrums so colors look better but they dont offer any better eye protection than any other decent pair of dark sunglasses you might already own. The vast majority of sunglasses are made with polycarbonate lenses (which M7 also uses), its the same material used for safety glasses because it doesnt shatter like glass and it blocks 100% UV.

I think the M7's provide less protection than darker glasses, but as you're saying the best thing about them is that you see more of the actual plants colors. Darker glasses work better if you're gonna look at the lights. I try to avoid looking at them, but when I raise or lower them it's hard not to accidentally see them, so whenever I'm not lazy I wear the darker ones when adjusting lights.

Even without UV, LED lights can still fuck shit up.
