I was wearing a new set of black iridium polarized 5's today. It wasn't extremely hot nor as extremely sunny but when sun was hitring me it seemed to not stop as much of the light. Do certain models protect better even eith same lens? Light was not entering from the sides.
 
I have definitely had some black iridium lenses that appeared to be darker than others, as far as how much light actually got through, not able to notice much difference.
 
I think it just varies batch to batch how things turn out, even more so for Iridium coated lenses. I have some grey polarized lenses that are quite a bit darker than a pair a friend owns for the same frame and everything. His were bought as replacements, mine were originals.
 
I have flaks with them and I think they are great , they do seem dark, but they look good also. My 2 favorite lens are those and the emerald green irridum.
