I'm not sure whether those are different, it might be the angle. But there is the vr28 black iridium and there's the black iridium. the black iridium is the darker one.

Yes there is, there is the black iridium lens, and then there is the VR28 black iridium lens, and then there is gold iridium, order iin lens as far as the amount of light is as follows

VR28 Black Iridium- lets in most light out of the three
Gold Iridium-Darker tint
Black Iridium-Darkest tint but not much different than gold

Beyond VR28 black, there actually are 2 black iridiums. Black iridium on oakley sunglasses uses a gray base lens and is a bit darker than on goggles.

Goggle black iridium has a rose/persimmon base for contrast and slightly lighter transmission.

Also, black iridium is not the darkest tint for Goggles. VR28 Polarized is the absolute darkest, followed by fire, then black.

You were right the first time, VR28 black iridium is about 10% lighter than normal black iridium.
