While diffraction glasses specifically relate to the diffraction of light, diffraction could also apply to water waves, radio waves, or sound waves. Have you ever observed the ripples of water in a pond move around a stationary rock? Those waves are being diffracted. Cool, right? Diffraction glasses, like those we design at Rainbow Symphony, work on this ancient principle of physics. First, we produce a high-quality, holographic lens that contains thousands of tiny lines. A more durable but equally colorful option is our popular line of plastic fireworks glasses , the perfect accessory for that next killer concert.
Now that you understand how diffraction grating glasses work, you can experience them for yourself! We also offer customization options for many of our best-selling diffraction glasses!

My Account. The history of diffraction goes back far beyond over years ago, when Sir Issac Newton observed a beam of sunlight pass through a glass prism. What he discovered is that light is made up of a spectrum ranging from 7 different visible colors.
This is the exact same visible spectrum that you see when wearing diffraction glasses today! During this time a man by the name of Francesco Maria Grimaldi, also observed and characterized what would soon be known as light diffraction.
Throughout the years, their observations were studied and molded into the theories and laws, which govern, light diffraction as we know it today. Diffraction, in physics, is the spreading out of waves, such as those of water, sound, radio, or light, as they pass around an obstacle or go through an opening.
A couple everyday examples are water waves spreading out as they move around an obstacle such as a projecting rock in a stream. These waves have been diffracted. Another more familiar form happens when a light hits the back of your favorite CD, casting a rainbow of colors, or simply the hologram on your credit card is the result of light grating.
Light waves ordinarily will not bend around corners, but they will be diffracted when they pass through tiny openings. This is the key to providing an awesome and stimulating visual experience.
When light strikes a grating in our glasses this is the lens which is marked with thousands of parallel lines, the light waves are caused to spread in such a way that they produce a spectrum, or rainbow, as pictured above!
Even tiny water droplets can act as a grating to create a 3D prism of light diffraction. Another cool fact about diffraction is that you can actually tell a plethora of different information based on the spectrum of colors it produces, when the light it emits, passes through a diffraction grating. When looking at objects, such as distant stars, this kind of information can be very beneficial. Realistically though, you are most likely buying a pair of these glasses for entertainment purposes and could care less about the temperature of a star millions of light years away.
So what makes the best diffraction glasses? Well, it depends what you are looking for out of your glasses. Some people enjoy a softer effect to wear during the day and for long-term use. Whereas most people look for the most intense effect created by multiple lasers of grating materials or multiple lenses.
Do keep in mind, the more diffraction you have, the less white light passes through the lens creating a more blurry view. The best Diffraction Glasses at the end of the day are judged by personal preference. This huge selection may be slightly daunting for a first time purchaser however we like to try to offer something for everyone. If you are struggling to decide which pair perhaps try browsing our Best Sellers , Staff Picks and On Sale categories for some ideas.
Below we have compiled a list of the different variations that we offer, click the link for the corresponding category to open in a new tab on your internet browser. These glasses feature our best-selling GloFX Ultimate Diffraction Lenses which accommodate a layer of the highest quality rainbow light gratings. The ultimate lenses can be considered as double diffraction as they are significantly more powerful than the average knockoff pair.
In our opinion Diffraction Glasses with these lenses offer the most enjoyable experience for our discerning tripsters, they encompass an optimal balance between effect and normal visual clarity This means you can still see where you are going when you wear them whilst enjoying epic visual effects!
Reserved only for our most wacky customers, these insane glasses feature an absolutely bonkers quadruple diffraction effect.
These glasses contain twice as many diffraction gratings to produce twice as much effect as the standard GloFX Ultimate lenses. Ohhh, so pretty! The Patented Lens Technology used in our heart glasses produces remarkable clarity and clear shapes.
When you are standing in front of the main-stage of your next major music festival, these glasses will make the lights explode into rainbow hearts!
Heart Effect Diffraction Glasses do not diffract indirect light, the unique 3D heart shaped diffraction effect is most evident when you are looking head on at a point of light. Absolutely mind bending! With all new effects, you can now immerse yourself in a variety of never before seen shapes, patterns, and effects! In our experience, GloFX Spiral Effect Diffraction Glasses work their best at live music events because they do not diffract indirect light.
To see the strongest spirals you will need to view a direct light source. Use these glasses to add depth and dimension to your diffraction experience. Aside from their perfect enhancement of light projection screens, event light shows, and laser projections, these glasses have proven to be a favourite in the LED glove, orbit, and poi communities.
