Every lens is cut, tinted, coated and quality-checked inside our Wenzhou facility — so your optical performance and color are identical from sample to mass production.

Blocks 100% of UVA and UVB up to 400 nm — our baseline on every lens, certified to CE EN ISO 12312-1 and ANSI Z80.3.
Polarized (TAC)
Multi-layer TAC film eliminates glare from water, snow and roads. Ideal for driving, fishing and outdoor sport eyewear.
Gradient Tint
Smooth top-to-bottom color fade for fashion frames. Custom gradient density and dual-gradient options available.
Mirror / REVO
Reflective flash coatings in silver, blue, gold, pink and more. Reduces brightness and adds a bold retail finish.

Blue-Light Filter
Filters high-energy visible light for screen-focused product lines and clear/lightly-tinted lifestyle eyewear.

Our Wenzhou facility hosts frame injection, acetate cutting, CNC milling, lens tinting, assembly, polishing and QC under one roof. That means no subcontract delays, no quality drift between vendors, and complete traceability from raw acetate sheet to shipped carton.

Trusted by eyewear, sports, promo and optical brands
A handful of voices from the 1,200+ brands that source their sunglasses programs through our Wenzhou facility.
We moved our entire acetate line to LumiShades after two sampling rounds. Color consistency between bulks is the best we've seen out of China, and the polarized lens quality is genuinely retail-grade.
For a 40,000-pair festival giveaway with a hard event deadline, they delivered DDP to Rotterdam four days early. The CE and UV test reports made our customs clearance effortless.
Communication is the night-and-day difference. English-speaking project manager, transparent per-pair pricing, photos at every milestone. We finally stopped using a trading agent.
