Electric Sunglasses Questions

 WHAT IS ELECTRIC’S SUNGLASS WARRANTY POLICY

Electric offers a lifetime warranty against manufacturer’s defect in material and workmanship with proof of purchase. If you believe you have a warranty claim, please contact the appropriate customer service representative.

 

AM I ABLE TO PURCHASE LENSES OR FRAMES SEPARATELY?

Electric does not offer separate lenses or frames. If you think you have a warranty issue please contact the appropriate customer service representative.

 

HOW DO I CLEAN MY ELECTRIC SUNGLASSES?

We recommend only using a micro-fiber for cleaning. All Electric eyewear comes standard with a microfiber bag or cleaning cloth. For extreme dirt, we recommend warm water and a soft detergent.

 

WHAT DOES THE “M” AND “P” STAND FOR ON MY GLASSES?

The “M” stands for melanin infused lenses, and the “P” stands for polarized lenses.

 

WHAT IS POLARIZATION?

Polarized lenses provide the benefit of filtering out reflected light and glare off cars, water, pavement, sand, and snow. This lens works great for any activity where high glare conditions exist. Electric’s polarized lens achieves 99% efficiency in blocking polarized light waves and blocks 100% of the suns damaging UV rays while maintaining optical clarity.

 

WHAT IS MELANIN?

Melanin is a natural pigment that is found throughout the human body. Its role is to protect you against sunlight damage by filtering UV and blue light. It prolongs your retinal health and acts as an SPF 140 for your eyes and skin. Melanin improves visual clarity and contrast while relaxing your eyes.

 

WHAT IS BLUE LIGHT?

Blue light is the most damaging portion of the visible light spectrum. It is also the most harmful to your retina, and after prolong, exposure damage and premature aging can occur. Blue light also causes eye strain and visual haze. Electric’s melanin lenses block up to 98% of blue light.

 

WHAT IS ACETATE?

Also known as Cellulose Acetate, is a nylon-based plastic that is hypoallergenic, and has more transparency and gloss than any other plastic. Acetate produces some of the most aesthetically pleasing eyewear, which is ideal for custom fitting and pliable when heated. Electric exclusively uses Mazzucchelli acetate for all of our handmade Italian acetate frames.

 

WHAT IS GRILAMID?

Grilamid is a high tensile strength plastic that will retain its shape under all temperatures. This material is impact resistant, flexible, lightweight, and durable. Electric uses grilamid in all of its mold injected eyewear.
