The fire iridium lens is great for sunny days but not so good on overcast days.

Oakley has a guide on their lenses. I used those to pick lenses.

I think the Fire Iridium increases contrast while the Black Iridium is neutral, so all things being equal, I'd go with Fire Iridium. I think they're both mostly bright sunny day lenses though.

For all-around Oakley lenses, definitely check out their Pink Iridiums or Emerald Iridiums. Personally I rock Pink Iridiums as my all-around lens for my A-Frames

Second this, although I actually used my black iridium lenses at night the other day and it wasn't too bad, but the runs were pretty well lit.

dont go emerald iridium for flat light or night. Its a sunny day lens but it rocks!. Pink is ok for flat light and nice for night
