New Product from BPI

The BPI UV Activator™, product code 109517, is a dual-purpose device which can be used as a visual demonstration of the effectiveness of UV blocking lenses and also to activate photochromic lenses with ultraviolet light of intensity similar to that in sunlight. The UV light source is discreetly baffled inside the black metal box away from the direct view of the user. It illuminates a white target which fluoresces brightly in the presence of UV light. A UV-blocking lens will leave a dark shadow on the fluorescent target. Photochromic lenses will be darkened by the UV light at much the same rate as they would be by natural sunlight. Lenses may be evaluated while still in the frames.
