When you want something that feels built to last
Most blue light glasses are plastic. The AfterDark Titanium uses a rubber titanium construction, a titanium alloy core with a matte rubber finish. That combination gives you a frame that's genuinely light at 8 grams, resistant to bending out of shape over time, and non-slip against your face during long evening sessions.
The wide 59mm lens and full-box frame give solid peripheral coverage, less light leaking in from the sides compared to a narrower frame. If you're serious about the science behind why that matters, the blue light biology post on the blog covers how peripheral retinal exposure still suppresses melatonin even when you're not looking directly at a screen.
Frame construction
- Rubber titanium: titanium alloy core with matte rubber coating; non-slip grip on the nose and temples
- Full-box frame: complete lens surround for structural rigidity and better peripheral blocking
- 8 grams: lighter than most full-box plastic frames; comfortable for 2-3 hours of evening use
- Wide 59mm lens: reduces peripheral light bleed compared to narrower lens profiles
- Corrosion resistant: titanium resists sweat and humidity; holds up well in daily carry
Frame dimensions
Manually measured. Allow 1-3mm tolerance. The 150mm frame width suits medium to larger face sizes.
Two lenses. Choose by time of evening.
Amber lens, 97% blue light blocked
- Targets the 380-500nm range where melanopsin suppression is greatest
- Colour visibility stays reasonable for reading, TV and moving around the house
- Put them on 2-3 hours before your target bedtime and leave them on
- The right starting point for most people on most evenings
- Spectrometer-verified, not a supplier claim
Red lens, 99%+ blue and green light blocked
- Covers the full 380-550nm range including green wavelengths the amber misses
- Maximum melatonin protection for the final 60-90 minutes before sleep
- The lens for Norwegian summer evenings when it's still light at 10pm
- Heavy colour shift, use when you're winding down and not moving around
- Spectrometer-verified at 99%+ across the target spectrum
Why AfterDark Titanium
Norwegian light extremes, summer and morketid
Summer: ambient outdoor light stays intense well past 10pm across most of Norway. The combination of late daylight and indoor LED screens means your melanopsin receptors get almost no break in the evening. Red lenses from 8pm give your melatonin signal a fighting chance against lysarstid.
Morketid: the sky is dark but your indoor environment isn't. Standard LED bulbs in Norwegian homes run at colour temperatures that still spike in the blue range, suppressing melatonin across 16+ hours of indoor time. Amber lenses from late afternoon, every evening through winter, combined with low-blue circadian bulbs in the main living areas, is the full solution.
What's in the box
The rest of the AfterDark range
Prefer a different frame style? The Quantum has a round retro profile in TR90 flex. The Smooth is a contemporary everyday frame also in TR90. The Meridian includes four magnetic lens swaps covering all protection levels in one package. For daytime screen use without suppressing morning alertness, the Nooner is the daytime option.
From Dominic
The Titanium is for people who want something that feels a bit more solid than a flex-polymer frame. Eight grams is genuinely light, most people are surprised when they first pick it up. The wide lens is the other thing worth noting: if you sit in a bright room in the evenings, the extra lens width makes a real difference to how well the glasses actually do their job. Start with Amber, wear them from dinner, and add Red for the final hour before sleep if you want maximum cover.

Questions people actually ask
What makes rubber titanium worth it over plastic?
Plastic frames flex and eventually snap at the hinge. Titanium doesn't. The rubber coating also stops it sliding on your nose during long sessions, something that matters at 8pm when you've been wearing them for two hours. At 8 grams it's noticeably lighter than most full-box plastic options.
Amber or Red, which first?
Amber from 2-3 hours before bed, most evenings. Red for the last hour, or from earlier during Norwegian summer when evenings stay bright. If you struggle with sleep consistently, try Red from dinner time for a week and see what happens.
Hva er forskjellen på disse og billige blålysbriller?
Billige blålysbriller oppgir ofte blokkeringsprosenter uten målte data. AfterDark Titanium er spektrometer-testet, 97% for amber og 99%+ for rød. I tillegg gir gummi-titan-rammen bedre holdbarhet og passform enn standard plastramme, og den brede linsen gir bedre perifert dekke.
Will the 150mm frame width fit my face?
150mm suits most medium to larger adult face sizes. A narrow face typically measures 130-138mm across the temples, average is around 140-145mm, and wider faces run 146mm and above. The 16mm nose spacing and 152mm temples give reasonable adjustment range.
Are these useful during Norwegian morketid?
Yes. Indoor LED lighting emits the same short-wavelength blue spike that suppresses melatonin regardless of whether it's dark outside. Morketid means 16+ hours a day under artificial light, which is actually the harder problem. Amber lenses from late afternoon, every day through winter. Pair with circadian bulbs in your main rooms for the full picture.
