Research before experimentation is usually beneficial.You avoid reinventing the wheel.(And losing a flashlight.).Shining the lenses while Earl isn’t wearing them would answer the question without irritating Earl.
I’ve heard there are some lenses that will turn dark even behind a windshield, but imagine they are pricey..I got a pair of Rx single-vision sunglasses just for driving. Pricey there too, but I wanted polarizing.
I dunno. We had pictures taken and the flash turned my glasses dark. Looks as if Hubby married a blind woman. Nothing wrong with doing so, but I’m not – unless I’m looking for the mayo in the back of the fridge.)
We have had to hide the flashlights in our house. The grandkids, especially the 4 year old, love playing with them.
I don’t mind that. Batteries can be replaced.The little one, however, has torn every flashlight apart to see how they work ( I assume ) and totally destroyed a couple of them in the process of “making them light up again”.
I did try giving them a couple of cheap disposable ones. Unfortunately, they drove mommy and daddy crazy with those and they mysteriously disappeared – just like Nelson’s flashlight will soon do.
“Transition” type lenses do not work inside of a car because of the UV treatment of the windows. My solution to that is a pair of transition glasses that have the custom fitted magnetic overlay that is dark like a pair of sunglasses. I keep the overlay in my car so I can use it when I am driving in the sunshine.
I had the transition lenses many years ago. After about 6 months they quit darkening except in cold and snowy conditions. I hope they’ve improved them.

In other words, Nelson, don’t attempt it.

Visualizing the consequences before the act would help many in life.

Hey, I’ve got a UV flashlight in the car. It’s used for hunting scorpions at night.

Now here’s where I would have fun with my answer. I’d tell my grandchild that the flashlight would turn my glasses and eyeballs purple.
