Spektrum
Biohacking-focused brand with several distinct lens tiers
BEST FORA biohacker who wants the multi-tier lens-shopping experience of Ra Optics, BON CHARGE, or TrueDark, but at a meaningfully lower price — Spektrum's lenses run roughly $45–50 versus $119 and up for those three brands.

PROS
✓Publishes tier-specific blocking claims rather than one vague brand-wide percentage.
✓Offers multiple frame styles so buyers aren't limited to one generic shape.
✓Sold direct at spektrumglasses.com with tier-specific product descriptions.
✓Markets itself alongside premium biohacker brands like Ra Optics, BON CHARGE, and TrueDark, but at roughly $45–50 per lens — the cheapest of the four biohacker-positioned brands in this comparison.
✓Markets distinct lens tiers by intended time of use rather than a single all-purpose tint.
✓Frame styles are described as everyday eyewear shapes rather than industrial safety-glasses builds.
CONS
✕Confusing multi-tier lineup similar to BON CHARGE and TrueDark means new buyers must research which specific lens matches their use case.
✕Blocking percentage claims are self-published rather than backed by a named independent lab test.
✕Smaller, less established brand than Ra Optics, BON CHARGE, or TrueDark, with less third-party community discussion to reference before buying.
✕Darkest nighttime tier has a visible tint impractical for wearing outside the home.
✕Sold only direct at spektrumglasses.com, without the mainstream retail availability (Best Buy, Amazon) that Gunnar Optiks offers.
✕Full coverage across day and night use typically requires buying more than one tier, raising total cost.
