Laser welding safety glasses with a Shade 3 polycarbonate filter, designed to attenuate visible laser radiation during laser welding, cutting, and similar industrial applications.

Attenuates laser radiation with OD 6+ @ 190–460 nm, OD 6+ @ 770–1200 nm, OD 7+ @ 1060–1080 nm, and OD 6+ @ 9,000–11,000 nm.

These glasses are designed to reduce welder’s arc brightness while still offering effective protection from the underlying stated laser radiation.

Suitable for applications where moderate attenuation is required while maintaining visibility.

The filters are coated for scratch resistance and offer high optical clarity to minimize eye fatigue during extended use.

Designed for diffused-viewing applications only.

All laser safety glasses and goggles include a protective case, microfiber cleaning cloth, and adjustable head strap.

Filter specifications are permanently marked with a laser engraver on the eyewear.

Optical density and wavelength selection should be verified by your Laser Safety Officer (LSO) per ANSI Z136.

Common Laser Applications

General Region of Laser Protection

LSOs (Laser Safety Officer) need to consider working environments, viewing conditions and beam delivery systems when making assessments and determining the correct laser glasses , goggles, barriers, or windows to protect against potentially hazardous laser radiation. Do not operate lasers without correct protective equipment and training. All laser safety glasses and goggles are made for indirect viewing only.

Thank you for the review, Brandon. We're glad to hear the product arrived quickly and met your expectations. We appreciate the opportunity to support your laser safety needs.

lens on the helmet blocks preview / pilot laser...

All handheld laser welders have a preview laser for the welding width and location of the laser while not welding. This lens blocks that laser as well. Without seeing that preview laser it's almost impossible to weld. They should have thought this through before using a lens that blocks basically all laser wavelengths.

Hi Gideon,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry the Shade 5 filter didn’t work out for your setup.

Shade 5 is our most protective welding plate—it’s designed to block the intense white-light from the weld arc and a broad range of laser wavelengths. The trade-off is very low visible-light transmission, which can dim or completely block the low-power preview or alignment beams on many handheld welders.

If seeing the alignment beam while you work is critical, Shade 3 offers a better balance between visibility and protection. Just keep in mind that it does let in more light overall, so it provides less protection than Shade 5. Choosing Shade 3 is a matter of accepting that trade-off to maintain a clear view of the aiming beam.

We’d be happy to:

Exchange your Shade 5 plate for a Shade 3 at no cost, or

Refund your purchase in full if you’d prefer to return it.

We’ve also added a note to our product documentation clarifying how each shade affects preview-laser visibility so future buyers can pick the right option from the start.

Please let us know which solution you’d like (or if there’s anything else we can do) and we’ll make it right.

Thank you again for helping us improve.
