The best Solarium glasses, compared.
Top pick: Torveen two pairs Best value: Mebamce MPU777-MBEB – Best value: about £5.99, 4.3 from 321 reviews, a fitted blackout cup, with a rigid nose gap still reported. Updated October 2026.
Solarium glasses on amazon.co.uk are the cups or shields sold as sunbed goggles, tanning goggles or IPL eye covers. You wear them so a UV sunbed does not shine straight into your eyes. UK buyers also use some pairs with red-light panels and LED masks. Those devices are not sunbeds, and the sunbed do not cover them. A useful pair is a seal at the nose and the side, a strap that arrives attached, and a shape you can tolerate for one session. A title wavelength is not that evidence, and neither is the star average. None of the files contains a transmittance test or IEC 60335-2-27. The checks and the UK age rules are in the [solarium glasses buying guide](/hub/steam-baths/solarium-glasses/sub/solarium-glasses-buying-guide).

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What are you wearing them for?
Torveen's listing is two pairs at £3.29, the lowest price in this set, with 4.7 from 4 ratings and a title that names red-light therapy and tanning beds. The two saved UK reviews say the pair does exactly as required, and call it lovely. Neither names a sunbed, a strap, a seal or a fault. The page asks whether they are adjustable and whether they protect against UV, and it does not answer. Shape is not stated, and the only size in the file is the package line, 14.8 x 10.4 x 2 cm and 20 g. Four stars on two vague sentences are not a blackout test. They are a cheap two-pack only if you already know the shape you want, and they are the wrong row if you need a UK account of light at the nose.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want two pairs at £3.29 and you already know which shape you are replacing.
Less suitable: You are choosing a first pair from stars, or you need a UK description of blackout and strap.
Specifications
Common questions
What do the reviews say they are like?
The listing shows 4.7 from 4 ratings. The two saved UK texts say the pair does exactly as required, and call it lovely. Neither names a sunbed, a strap or a fault.
Are they adjustable?
The listing asks whether they are adjustable and does not answer. UV protection and red-light use are also questions. Red light and tanning beds appear in the title only.
How many pairs are in the box?
The title says 2 pairs. The package line is 14.8 x 10.4 x 2 cm and 20 g. A model number is not printed.
The Heanvmyss RGYZ-3 is three black flexible shields at £5.99, listed at 4.4 from 10 ratings, and every saved review in the file is marked Germany. One of those texts describes flexible silicone, an elastic band with a buckle, and a seal that blocked sight during IPL. Another says they cover the eyes for a red-light lamp. The first saved review is about riding an e-bike, and it only guesses at solarium use. The listing asks whether they are adjustable and whether they protect against UV, and it answers neither. There is no UK text here to check a light gap, a strap or a sunbed session, so the 4.4 does not stand in for a British buyer's report. The spare shields are the practical point of the three-pack, and they stay an unproven sunbed pair until a UK review describes one.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want three spare shields at £5.99 and you will not read the German reviews as a UK sunbed test.
Less suitable: You want a UK account of a sunbed session before you buy.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing say these are adjustable?
It asks whether they are adjustable and does not answer. A German review describes an elastic band with a buckle. That is not a UK listing specification.
Are the saved reviews from the United Kingdom?
No. The listing shows 4.4 from 10 ratings. The three saved texts are marked Germany, including one about e-bike use rather than a sunbed.
How many are in the pack?
The title says 3 pieces. The model number is RGYZ-3. The package line is 15.8 x 12 x 1.9 cm and 80 g.
The Winwill patient cups on amazon.co.uk are £5.98, with 4.3 from 674 ratings, and UK reviews in the sample describe a total blackout on a sunbed, an LED mask or a red-light lamp. They arrive with the strap fitted and a toggle, and several UK buyers mention a clear case, which the listing itself does not specify. The nose bridge is often praised for closing the gap other cups leave, though a UK review still sees a little light at the bottom if the strap is loose. Some adult faces find them too small, or tight enough to hurt, and one UK review reports a worse skin reaction on the eyelids than with the covers that came with an LED mask. You cannot see through them, so a UK buyer who wanted to watch an IPL handset could not. The page address is /dp/B07D1YHV54 while the details block prints ASIN B0BN3B81N7, and one saved UK review is dated 7 October 2022, before the first-available line of 22 November 2022. It is the top pick in this set when you want a ready-made blackout cup with the largest review file here, and you will check the live listing because those two identifiers do not match.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a ready blackout cup for a sunbed or an LED mask, and you will check that the live page is still dp B07D1YHV54.
Less suitable: You must see a handset, your face is already tight in small cups, or you need a printed wavelength.
Specifications
Common questions
Which ASIN is this Winwill listing?
The amazon.co.uk address is /dp/B07D1YHV54. The details block prints ASIN B0BN3B81N7. The first-available date is 22 November 2022, and one saved UK review is dated 7 October 2022.
Can you see through them to carry out IPL?
UK reviews say they are a total blackout. One buyer wanted to see during IPL and could not. The title calls them patient goggles for a beauty clinic.
What are they made of, and are they adjustable?
The listing asks both questions and answers neither. UK reviews describe a string with a toggle and a clear case. Material is not a specification in the file.
The Mebamce MPU777-MBEB is one black cup at £5.99, rated 4.3 from 321 reviews, and 48 of the first 50 saved texts are from the United Kingdom. Those UK reviews describe a complete blackout for a sunbed, LED or red light, with the elastic already attached and a small case that the bullets do not list. The listing still says the lens colour is transparent and puts swimming in a sport field, which those reviews do not support. A rigid nose bridge leaves a gap in more than one UK account, so light still reaches the eyes, and one strap snapped after about five uses. You cannot see through them, which makes stepping onto a sunbed harder, and one buyer found them too bulky to sit under an LED mask. One pair arrived without holes in the eyepieces, so that buyer could not open solid plastic. At one penny more than the Winwill cups, this is the best value pick when you want one ready cup and you can live with a nose gap that some faces still report.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want one ready blackout cup at £5.99 and you will check the seal at your nose before the lamps come on.
Less suitable: You need to see while you work, or a previous cup already leaked at a rigid nose bridge.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you see through the Mebamce cups?
The listing lens colour is transparent, and a field says swimming. In the first 50 reviews, UK buyers say they are a complete blackout and you cannot see through them.
Does the strap arrive fitted?
The bullets describe an elastic headband. UK reviews say the string is already attached and that a small case comes with them. The case is not in the bullet pack line.
Do they fit under an LED mask?
One UK review says they are too big for that buyer's mask. Other UK reviews use them with LED or red-light devices and call them comfortable. Fit under a mask is not guaranteed.
The FREEMASCOT wrap, model IPL, is £15.99, the highest price in this set, with 4.3 from 51 ratings and a title that prints 200–2000 nm. That range is not backed by a certificate in the file. Of 23 saved reviews, 17 are from the United Kingdom, and they describe an almost black wrap for someone lying still under red light, an LED lamp, or laser hair or tattoo removal. You cannot see through them, so buyers who needed to watch a laser returned them. One UK review says they do not seal and let a lot of light in at the side, and another describes hard plastic around the eyes rather than softer rubber. The listing asks whether they fit over glasses and whether they are lightweight, and it answers neither. Product size is 15 x 15 x 4.3 cm and 100 g. They are a client pair at the top of this price range, and the side-leak report is the reason a wider title range does not make them the top pick.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are the person lying still for red light or laser, and you will check the side seal before you pay the top price in this set.
Less suitable: You are holding the device, you need a pair over spectacles, or you are buying because the title prints a wide nanometre range.
Specifications
Common questions
Can the person doing the treatment see through these?
UK reviews say no. They describe a blackout suitable for someone lying still for red light, laser hair removal or tattoo removal, not for the person holding the device.
Do they seal around the eyes?
One UK review says they do not seal and let a lot of light in at the side. Other UK reviews say they block red light well. The file has both reports.
Can they be worn over prescription glasses?
The listing asks that question and does not answer it. Lightweight is also asked and not answered. Product dimensions are 15 x 15 x 4.3 cm and 100 g.
FREEMASCOT T-COVER-2 is patient eyewear at £9.99, with 4.3 from 11 ratings, and the title calls it full protection for IPL patients. The file asks what OD 10+ means and does not answer, so that figure is not a specification you can use. Three reviews are saved: one UK text calls them great for an LED mask and does not describe the view, one German text says light passes, and a third German text is about skincare ampoules rather than these goggles. Adjustable fit and wearing them over glasses are also asked and left blank. The package line is 14.8 x 4.8 x 2.7 cm and 40 g. With one relevant UK sentence and a light-pass complaint from Germany, this is a thin file for a £9.99 patient cup.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a second look at a patient-style cup for an LED mask, and you will not treat OD 10+ as a measured rating.
Less suitable: You need a UK account of the seal, a fit over spectacles, or a pair you can see through while you treat someone.
Specifications
Common questions
What does OD 10+ mean on this listing?
The file asks what OD 10+ means and does not answer. Optical density is not printed as a specification for T-COVER-2.
Will they fit over prescription glasses?
The listing asks whether they can be worn over glasses and whether they are adjustable, and answers neither. Package size is 14.8 x 4.8 x 2.7 cm and 40 g.
Do the saved reviews say they block light?
The one UK review calls them great for an LED mask and does not describe the view. One German review says light passes. A third German text is about skincare ampoules, not these goggles.
Hemlosk's goggles are £9.50, with 4.0 from 32 ratings, and the title prints 190–540 nm and UV400. Neither figure is a certificate in the file, and the UV question on the listing is unanswered. Nine reviews are saved, three of them from the United Kingdom. One UK review says they do not fit and do not seal the eyes. Another bought a second pair so a friend could use red-light equipment. A third is about flashing lights at shows and the cinema, not a sunbed. The package line is 18.5 x 9.5 x 6.3 cm and 70 g, and adjustable fit is asked and not answered. A wavelength in the title does not repair a seal a UK buyer already says is missing.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already know the shape and you are only comparing the £9.50 shelf price with the other rows.
Less suitable: You are buying because the title prints 190–540 nm, or you need a seal a UK review has already failed.
Specifications
Common questions
Is 190–540 nm a tested rating?
It is printed in the title, with UV400. The file contains no certificate, optical-density figure or transmittance test. The UV question on the listing is unanswered.
Do they seal around the eyes?
One of the three UK reviews says they do not fit and do not seal the eyes. The other two UK texts are about a red-light device for a friend, and about flashing lights at shows, not a sunbed.
Are they adjustable?
The listing asks whether they are adjustable and whether they can be used for outdoor activities, and answers neither. The package line is 18.5 x 9.5 x 6.3 cm and 70 g.
The Power Tan iGoggles, part 234087, are £3.45 and carry 3.9 from 2,145 ratings, the largest count in this set, and the first 50 saved reviews are all from the United Kingdom. They arrive as two slimline shields and a separate cord, and that sample is dominated by people trying to clip the cord into side slits. Some buyers finish the job in about a minute and then leave the pair assembled for a short sunbed. Others find no holes, only closed slits, and the elastic pings off with no toggle, so the length becomes a knot. UK reviews split on the view: some cannot see through them, and others still see light from an infrared lamp or an LED mask. Two reviews in that sample say a lens or the connector arrived broken. At 8 g and 8 x 6 x 2 cm they are the lightest pair here, and they suit you only if you will assemble them before the session and accept that the blackout is mixed.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You will assemble the shields and cord before a short sunbed, and you want the pair with the largest UK review count at £3.45.
Less suitable: You need a pair that arrives ready, a complete blackout, or a strap with a toggle.
Specifications
Common questions
Do the iGoggles arrive ready to wear?
No. Across the first 50 UK reviews, they arrive as separate shields and a cord. Some buyers clip the cord into side slits in about a minute. Others find no holes and give up.
Is the strap adjustable?
The title says an adjustable elastic strap, one size fits all. UK reviews often find no toggle, so the length is a knot, and the elastic can ping off while you fit it.
Do they block all light?
The bullets claim shielding from sunbed UV, red light and LED, with no test figure. UK reviews disagree: some cannot see through them, and others still see infrared or LED light.
Eight amazon.co.uk listings were scored from 0 to 100 on 20 October 2026. This is not a laboratory test. No file contains a transmittance result or IEC 60335-2-27. The top pick is the highest score. Where two scores tie, the larger review count takes it. Best value is the highest value-block score that is not already the top pick. In sentences this page says top pick and best value.
Amazon evidence
30%Star points are the amazon.co.uk rating divided by 5, times 18. Volume runs from 2 points for one review to 12 for more than 100. No UK review text caps the block at 12, and two vague praise lines cap it at 14.
Listing fit
25%A form the reviews describe, a strap they confirm as fitted, and a pair that arrives assembled score higher. A printed nanometre span, UV400 in the title, or an unanswered OD question scores low. A details-block ASIN that disagrees with the page address is deducted.
Review outcome
30%Repeated UK blackout scores higher than mixed blackout, one vague line, or no UK text. A leak, a strap that marks or snaps, and assembly as the main story all reduce the score.
Value
15%Shelf price in GBP against a UK review file you can read. The lowest price does not win. A fitted blackout cup under £6 with more than 100 ratings scores highest here.
Choose the job before the title wavelength. A UV sunbed, a red-light panel, an LED mask and IPL as the person lying still are not the same session. These eight amazon.co.uk listings, priced from about £3.29 to about £15.99, were scored on 20 October 2026 from listing text and saved reviews. None of the files contains a transmittance test. What you can check is the seal, whether the strap arrives fitted, and whether a UK review describes a session.
A pair of solarium glasses is the eyewear you wear on a UV sunbed so the lamps do not shine straight into your eyes. On amazon.co.uk the same object is titled sunbed goggles, tanning goggles or IPL eye covers. UK buyers in this set also use some pairs with red-light panels and LED masks. Those devices are not sunbeds, and the Sunbeds (Regulation) Act 2010 does not cover them.
190–540 nm, 200–2000 nm, UV400 and an unanswered OD 10+ question are the seller's wording. No file in this set contains a transmittance test or IEC 60335-2-27. A wider title range does not repair a side leak a UK review has already described.
A 4.7 from 4 ratings is not the same evidence as 4.3 from 674. Torveen's two UK lines name no sunbed, strap or fault. Heanvmyss is 4.4 from 10, and the saved reviews are German, including one about an e-bike. Those figures are not a blackout test.
Winwill, Mebamce and the FREEMASCOT wrap are described as blackout. You cannot see through them. A UK buyer who wanted to watch an IPL handset could not. The opaque cup stays with the person lying still.
The first check is the job. A UV sunbed, a red-light panel or LED mask, and IPL as the person lying still are different. A cup UK reviewers praise for blackout is the wrong object if you must see a handset. Opaque cups in this set are for someone who can lie still. How a sunbed cup differs from red light or IPL is on the [sunbed or red light](/hub/steam-baths/solarium-glasses/sub/solarium-glasses-sunbed-or-red-light) page. Seal is next.
Strap and size come after the seal. Thin elastic that marks the skin or snaps appears in Mebamce, Winwill and Power Tan reviews. Power Tan reviews often find no toggle, so the length is a knot. Winwill reviews describe a toggle. Heanvmyss has no UK review text, so a German note of a buckle is not a UK specification. Some adult faces find the Winwill cups too small or tight. One Mebamce buyer found them too bulky to sit under an LED mask. Measured claims are not a certificate.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want your own pair because the salon pair is missing, shared or uncomfortable. The Winwill cups at about £5.98 are the top pick: 4.3 from 674 reviews, a ready blackout in UK texts, and a nose bridge often praised for closing a gap. A little light shows if the strap is loose. The details block prints ASIN B0BN3B81N7, which is not the page address. Check the live listing.
You use a red-light panel or an LED mask at home and you want a blackout cup that arrives with the strap fitted. The Mebamce at about £5.99 is the best value: 4.3 from 321 reviews. UK texts describe a complete blackout. A rigid nose bridge still leaves a gap for some faces, and one buyer found the cup too big under a mask.
You are the person lying still, and you will not hand an opaque cup to the person who has to see the skin. The FREEMASCOT wrap at about £15.99 is 4.3 from 51 reviews. UK texts describe an almost black wrap. One UK review says light comes in at the side. The title range 200–2000 nm is not a certificate. If you hold the handset, skip this row.
The top pick is the Winwill patient cups at about £5.98. Winwill and Mebamce both score 83. The award sits on Winwill because 674 reviews outweigh 321, and UK texts describe a ready blackout with a nose bridge that closes a gap. A little light still shows if the strap is loose, and the details block prints ASIN B0BN3B81N7 rather than the page address B07D1YHV54. The best value is the Mebamce MPU777-MBEB at about £5.99, the highest value-block score, with a fitted strap and a rigid nose gap left in view. None of these scores is a transmittance test, and none of these pairs makes cosmetic sunbed use safe.
Mebamce MPU777-MBEB
Best value: about £5.99, 4.3 from 321 reviews, a fitted blackout cup, with a rigid nose gap still reported.
