    I have a rainbow iridium one on mine and I use it both day and night. It doesn't really filter any light out at all its just a finish on a clear visor.

    Only slight problem I have is at night is a tiny red halo around car headlights, but otherwise its all good and does not reduce my vision at all during night time use.

    That said I do not know the legal stance on iridium visors.

    Mine:

    I just googled the legal side of it and found this.

    http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roads/vehi...dgo4563?page=3

    In my case the visor is made by AGV for my helmet and has all the relevant protective markings on it, but crucially does NOT state "Daytime only" so its legal 24 hours a day.

    Hope this helps.

    I wear a dark visor on my Arai. Depends on what you mean by "get away with it" Will you get stopped? No. If you get stopped for something recklass will they do you for an illegal visor? Maybe. Will it affect your vision in flat light conditions. Deffinatelty. It will only help your vision in bright conditions and will hinder it to some extent in anything else. A clear visor will always give you the best view of the road ahead. Why do i wear a dark visor? Because it looks awsome!

    Haaaaa thanks for the honesty Wiltshire Builder. I quite like the dark visor as well, but am not sure on which to go with. I have a HJC 09 FS-10 lid in blue and black so thought the iridium may go best.

    Get the smoked visor it Makes you look like you mean business! I always think iridium looks a bit cheap.....but the world would be a sad place if we all liked the same things.
