Plus I drove a crew cab, so I was able to see the full back seat and I could see both my blind spots and tail gate with it adjusted correctly. Kinda wish you would have spent a little more time trying these in different vehicles.

A lady I used to see had a nerve problem which made one of her pupils stay maxed out, she couldn't drive at night because of this. I grabbed an pair of amber safety glasses from the hardware store and built a thing that would clip onto her glasses and cover the bad eye with the amber lens. It ended up working great, she was able to drive at night again without being blinded in one eye by every oncoming car.

I wouldn't say I have severe eye issues but I do wear regular glases and recently I got a new pair that has magnetic lenses I can clip on top of the regular ones, my eyes are a bit too sensible to light and the yellow driving lenses that I can clip on top are a must for me, without them I'll drive for a couple hours and my eyes will be bright red while with the yellow lenses on top I can got for more than double the time without my eyes getting tired, those on the video do seem crazy expensive but you can get some that do work nicely, also, older yellow french cars had yellow headlights for a reason, it's not about being able to see better it's about not getting tired as quickly.

Yeah that was my thinking. They generally only think about consumer usage, but there are plenty of use cases professionally, where this is very solid. Not saying this one specifically is good, but the product in general is definitely worth it if this is a regular thing. Also I don't even own a jerrycan, so it's not like they are a common for consumers anyway. They used to be with so many tools being gas powered. But with battery taking over, I don't see why most would need this, unless they have vehicles that you can't just take to a pump. As a consumer that is. If you have a car dealership/garage, this is definitely useful

@philippvarus6034 8 ай бұрын

I know your comment is around a year old, but there are way better options. Optician here :) The better Option is to buy glasses with "blue protect" They are normal white 100% clear, no Yellow. The Upper Coat absorbs the critical portion of the LED Headlight spectrum. Giving you perfect sight while also lowering the LED Lights. Those yellow glasses, they work in a kinda way of block nearly all blue light but many colors contain it in a way, meaning: Warning colors get worse to see. And they take a portion of light away, meaning: Worse sight in Bad light situations.

Yellow lenses help with night time driving for people with astigmatism. It helps block out the "flares"(if you don't have astigmatism, then you won't understand), that can be quite blinding. But...you don't have to spend $80 as any yellow lenses work for the most part. I wear $6 yellow lens safety glasses at night, and it works well.

those yellow glasses definitely help those with astigmatism, or LASIK for night driving, I was legally blind most of my life, had LASIK it made light diffract a lot worse at night for me, but gave me depth and spatial reasoning, the yellow glasses make a serious difference on a highway at night its not that they make it easier to see at night, but it helps prevent you from getting blinded and needing a second to recover your vision in the darker spots while driving (basically helps keep your pupils from dilating to small for the situation, as your eyes go "oh its day" and go smaller, but actually need to be bigger to continually see the dark sections coming up.)

Truck driver here. 5:20 segment of the video and night time glasses. I work at night driving a lot of back highways and what not. I was coming home with consent migraine headaches from people driving both behind and at the truck with their high beams on. From the back is way worse cause it/they are consistently bouncing off the mirrors into you eyes. I finally talk to my Optometrist and got actual night time prescription glasses. No more migraine headaches. But if you think $80 is expensive. Every time my prescription changes for my normal glasses I pay $1100-1200 for new night glasses....worth every single cent.

I had a blown head gasket so I didn't want to stop incase the van wouldn't start again, so I had to keep going. I had a pair of John Lennon glasses with yellow lenses and remembered the night time driving glasses has yellow lenses. I put them on and could see about 3 to 4 feet further, which was a lot considering I could only see like 10ft in front of me to begin with.

The logic behind them by the way is that the blue color receptors in your eye are not very sensitive in low light. So if you wear yellow glasses (i.e. blocking blue channel), it doesn't affect your ability to see in low light very much...but when a car's headlights are shining towards you, the glasses are cutting out at least one part of that light, making it a little less bright.

As for the 360 swivel seat they work best if you back in, sit down with your legs still outside the car, then swivel in; it's great if you have a cast on your leg, or are unable to bend/move normally, like being paralyzed from the waist down.
