Miller’s new lens technology has been engineered to complement the colours emitted from the welding arc and enhance clarity.
A Welding Industries Australia news report said the technology allows more colours of the visible light spectrum to come through the lens.
“Regular auto-darkening welding lenses block light even when a welder isn’t striking an arc,” the report reads.
“ClearLight Lens Technology is designed to minimise light blockage — giving you a brighter light state to see your surroundings.”
According to the report, the 1/1/1/2 optical clarity rating provides a 3.0 light state that allows welders to keep their helmet down in between welds.
“Injuries in a welding environment most commonly occur when welders aren’t welding and the helmet is in the up position,” the report reads.
“ClearLight Lens Technology reduces eye strain by providing greater clarity and a brighter light state, giving welders the capability to keep their helmet down when performing non-welding tasks, like grinding or cleaning.”
ClearLight Lens Technology allows more wave lengths along the colour spectrum to come through the welding filter and auto-darkening lens.
“Where previous filter technology prevented some colours from passing through — which resulted in the operator seeing an artificial yellow, green, or blue tint — ClearLight Lens Technology allows colours commonly emitted during welding to pass through the lens filter, providing a more colour-neutral lens,” the report reads.
