fiber optics are great for daytime use, but are useless in low light conditions. But then again, how many times do we shoot in low light conditions.  In which case, another gun with night sights would be required for those other situations.
Yes and night sights are just as useless in low light conditions as they only glow well in dark to pitch black conditions. This is why we now understand the importance of a good flashlight.

not my truglow tritium pro night sights with the orange front sight, they are very bright even in the daylight.

Glad they work for you. I looked at those and determined the front sight is too wide for my taste. I like a more narrow front sight which is another reason I gravitated away from night sights in general.

I’ve always believed, sights (grips too) are all a matter of preference.  What works for me, may not work for you.  So there is no right or wrong answer.

Find out what works for you.  In fixed sights, I need a bold front sight with blank, black rear.  As I age, I anticipate needing to use my red dot sighted guns more- I am resisting it, but recognize it can be an aid to my speed and accuracy.
Like a midget at a urinal, I'll have to keep on my toes

For what it's worth:
My Truglo Pro night front sights with the orange dot measure .460 OAL x .155 tall x .160 wide.
My Meprolight Hyper Bright front Sights with an orange dot measure .365 OAL x .130 tall x .130 wide

My Meprolight Hyper Bright front Sights with an orange dot, suck. The rear sights have no day time color.
One can’t tell if you are aiming high or low. They also have a more unforgiving square notch.

During the day they are designed to have no color in the rear and function as typical IRON sights much the way the Sig XRAY-3 sights work. I have Hyper Brights on a couple guns and they function just fine for what they are. I have no issue lining them up but they'll be the last set of nighties I ever put on a gun.

My preference is the Trijicon HD XR Night Sights, unfortunately they don’t make them for the CZ 75.

So I ended up going with the Truglo Tritium Pro in orange.
