haha, sorry man. i didn't fully "read" your thread, i understand what your saying now. i believe something with a yellow lens helps brighten up, stay away from blues and dark oranges/reds

Hi blue & yellow are the same lens im pretty sure.

Maybe H.I. Persimmon would be good for everything. It's really tough to get good night and day vision, rose is prolly the best for that. I did have platinum mirror lenses from Smith and they were decent for day+night. Night was a bit tough but seemed a lot better than the average lens, and they look sick in the day.

Oakley: Pink Iridium, HI Yellow
Smith: Sensor Mirror
Scott: Chrome Amplifier Lens

as far as I know most other companies don't have great flat light lenses.

I have a blue mirror lens on my motives I use for flat lights. the blue really picks up the shadows and lines you cant see when its overcast
