English term or phrase: Were blacked out (en este conexto)

The training involved members of the department donning their complete turnout gear with SCBA and associated masks, which were blacked out to simulate smoke conditions in a structure fire with zero visibility.

Es un artículo de un periódico. Mi duda está en "were blacked out".

Gracias.

Creo que da más la idea del tipo de camuflaje usado: es decir, imitar los efectos del hollín y el humo en un incendio.

were blacked out (en este conexto) que se modificaron para bloquear la luz por completo

Explanation:
Estas gafas están más que "oscurecidas", se han manipulado para que no puedan dejar pasar la luz de sol en absoluto, como las gafas que aparecen en los enlaces, que se venden especialmente para viajar y dormir en los viajes.

Occles provide a blackout from your external environment, allowing you to effectively block out light and get some much-needed rest.
