LENS DESCRIPTIONS
Our lens tints are not merely decorative, but enhance a worker's vision under various lighting conditions. Following are different lens options, their applications and percentage of Visible Light Transmission, (VLT - how much of a light source's rays pass through the lens). Please remember that these are general directions only. Consult your safety director to insure the proper application
| Anti-Fog Coating: Provides excellent fog prevention in high humidity environments where sudden shifts in temperature occur. |
Clear: Provides excellent optics for general applications where impact protection is required.
85% VLT |
Gray: Four outdoor applications where light and glare can cause eye strain and fatigue.
18% VLT |
Light Gray: Serves the same purpose as gray lenses, yet allows more visible light through the lens for indoor / outdoor use. Reduces glare from artificial light such as halogen and fluorescent lighting.
62% VLT |
Gradient: For outdoor use where overhead glare may interfere with visual acuity.
18% VLT |
Amber: Blocks the blue portion of the visible light spectrum, creating maximum contrast enhancement, particularly in low light.
85% VLT |
Dark Green: A general purpose lens that protects from excessive glare and ultraviolet radiation.
12% VLT |
Fire, Blue, Diamond, Emerald, Rainbow, Blue, Silver, Banana Mirror and Copper: For outdoor use where sunlight and glare cause eye strain and fatigue. 'Mirror' coating reflects light, reducing the amount of light that passes through the lens.
9% VLT |
Brown and Espresso: Outdoor applications where sunlight and glare cause eye strain and fatigue. Meets color traffic signal recognition requirements.
12% VLT |
Indoor/Outdoor Clear Mirror: Allows more visible light through the lens for indoor / outdoor use. Reduces glare from artificial light such as halogen and fluorescent lighting.
55% VLT |
Vermillion: Enhances contrast while reducing all colors equally for optimum color recognition. Ideal for indoor inspection.
55% VLT |
Light Blue: Allows more visible light through the lens for indoor / outdoor use. Reduces glare from artificial light such as halogen and fluorescent lighting.
70% VLT |
Blue Ice: Protects from excessive glare, high levels of hazardous visible light and ultraviolet radiation in outdoor applications
33% VLT |
Filter Shades: Protects against ultraviolet and infrared radiation generated when working with molten metal, and in welding, cutting, soldering and brazing. |
Polarized: For use outdoors to protect from excessive glare that can cause eye strain and fatigue. | WELDING FILTER SHADE SECTION
