Lampworking Glasses – Model 206 with Sodium Flare Polycarbonate Lens

Finally, a really cool look to wear in hot and dusty environments! With great features and benefits to match, the Lampworking Glasses Model 206 has that “wrap” look. This frame comes with clear or smoke gray side shields to match the environment you expect to be working in, and a removable dust dam prevents sweat and debris from falling into your eyes from above.

This polycarbonate is very efficient in filtering sodium flare in addition to providing good ultraviolet protection.  It is very comfortable for viewing under high ambient light conditions such as when working with glowing heat sources for a duration of time. Also, although it has a relatively low luminous transmission of 38%, it is not recommended for glassworking where Infrared protection is needed.  This filter is more for soft glass usage

Lampworking is a type of glasswork in which a torch or lamp is used to melt the glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is also known as flameworking or torchworking, as the modern practice no longer uses oil-fueled lamps.
