In the world of welding, few tools have garnered the legendary status of the Cool Blue lens, once produced by AO Safety. Renowned for its unparalleled clarity and ability to cut through the blinding glare of welding arcs, the Cool Blue lens transformed the welding experience for those lucky enough to possess one. However, as time marched on, production ceased, leaving welders in search of alternatives. At Phillips Safety Products, we delve into the rich history of the Cool Blue lens and unveil the journey from its iconic status to the development of superior alternatives. Join us as we explore the evolution of welding lens technology and the quest for clarity in the face of changing times.

The Legendary Cool Blue Welding Lens

AO Safety formerly produced a glass welding lens known as the Weld Cool filter plate, colloquially referred to as “Cool Blue.” Welders universally cherish this lens for its remarkable attributes. Peering through it while welding unveils a near-mythical clarity, transforming the welding experience. Its scarcity has escalated its value, with functional units fetching prices upwards of four or five hundred dollars.

But why the acclaim? The answer lies in the lens’s unique ability to mitigate the blinding yellow flare emitted by the welding arc. Even amidst the darkness of the filter, this flare often obscures the welder’s view. However, the Cool Blue Lens eradicates this hindrance, providing a crystal-clear perspective of the welding process in real-time.

Yet, if it’s so exceptional, why did production cease? Speculation abounds, but the truth lies in a business decision made by AO back in 1990. A former AO scientist, reflecting on the discontinuation, explained that it was driven by a mix of economic factors and manufacturing challenges related to the specialized cobalt glass used in the lens. Despite numerous theories circulating, the exact details remain elusive, encapsulated in the scientist’s email: “The reason for discontinuation was a combination of economics and a problem in the manufacturing and processing of the blue base glass… I could go into copious detail about both the economic and the blue base glass issues but it would serve no purpose.”

From Cool Blue to Superior Alternatives

At Phillips Safety Products, crafting welding filter plates is our specialty. Reflecting on the situation at AO and drawing from years of industry insights, it appears that AO faced a significant challenge necessitating the reformulation of their base glass—a costly endeavor. Ultimately, they opted against this investment, a pragmatic business move made in 1990. This decision coincided with the rise of auto-darkening lenses introduced in 1981, gradually supplanting traditional ‘passive’ filter lenses as welders sought more efficient and safer alternatives.

As time progresses, so does technology. Consider the antiquated typewriter or the diminishing presence of standard light bulbs—examples abound of obsolete items replaced by superior, cost-effective, or safer alternatives. The landscape of dart sets for family use is another telling illustration of this evolution.

Although the Cool Blue lens is no longer in production, alternatives exist. While some may not match its quality, we pride ourselves on offering a viable substitute, if not an improvement. Our Cobalt Blue lens, tailored for furnace observation, torching, and brazing, differs from the Cool Blue but excels in its own right. However, these lenses aren’t suitable for providing adequate protection against the infrared levels typical of mainline welding, as emphasized by the AO scientist.

All our lenses boast superior optical clarity, being crafted from glass rather than plastic. Our standard green shades outperform plastic counterparts, with the addition of a Gold Mirror finish elevating visual quality comparable to the Cool Blue at a fraction of the cost.

Moreover, responding to demand, we now offer Alloweld lenses in darker shades suitable for mainline welding operations. The Alloweld surpasses the Cool Blue in performance. While the color may differ, its transformative effect lies in completely eliminating the yellow/orange arc flare. Having tested all three lenses, we can attest that the Alloweld provides unparalleled clarity, enabling welders to observe the weld puddle formation, electrode wear, and overall work progress with remarkable precision. Testimonials from welders who’ve trialed these lenses echo this sentiment—they’ve been reluctant to part with them, opting to keep them for their continued use and safety assurance, providing 100% IR and UV protection for peace of mind regarding long-term vision health.

Looking Ahead: Advancements in Welding Lens Materials

Looking towards the future, as time inevitably progresses, there may come a day when obtaining glass welding lenses becomes increasingly challenging. In anticipation of this, we are actively engaged in research and development to create non-glass lenses with optical characteristics akin to those of contemporary glass lenses. Your assistance in this endeavor would be invaluable. If you possess a damaged or unusable Cool Blue lens that you would be willing to provide for the development of a replacement, please reach out to us. We are committed to ensuring that no functional lens is taken out of use unnecessarily, as every piece contributes to our analysis and replication of its unique characteristics. Whether it’s broken, pitted, or scratched, as long as there’s enough material for us to study and emulate its properties, your contribution would be greatly appreciated.

Engaging in landscaping, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a novice, offers a fulfilling and enjoyable way to spend a weekend while enhancing your home’s value. Whether it’s weeding, laying brick pavers, planting shrubs, tending to a garden, installing low-voltage lighting, or trimming bushes and trees, landscaping not only provides exercise and fresh air but also results in improved living conditions. Turn it into a family affair, and witness how quickly tasks get accomplished while everyone enjoys a day of working together.

Just like any undertaking, the essential factor for successful landscaping lies in having the appropriate tools for each specific task. For horticultural activities, you’ll need proper gardening gear such as sharp shears, spades, work gloves, and knee pads. In case of electrical or underground sprinkler work, pliers, electrical tape, wire strippers, a shovel, and assorted tools and supplies will be necessary. Additionally, don’t forget to protect your skin from the sun with hats and sunscreen during your outdoor ventures.

THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE FOR LANDSCAPING SAFETY GLASSES

Among the frequently disregarded pieces of landscaping equipment, proper eyewear stands essential. Safety glasses serve as the optimal shield for your eyes, guarding them against branches, flying debris, and rocks propelled by lawnmowers. Moreover, with the added benefit of UV protection, your eyes will be safeguarded from the harmful effects of both direct and reflected sunlight. Hence, determining the most suitable type of safety eyewear to wear during any landscaping task or activity becomes crucial.

At Phillips Safety, our top recommendation for landscaping safety glasses includes Photochromic lenses. These lenses not only offer all the protective advantages of standard safety glasses but also ensure comfort and defense against harsh sunlight. While working in a garden, moving in and out of the garage or shed, or being under trees or the eaves of your house, you’ll encounter varying lighting conditions—from sunlit areas to shaded spots.

Photochromic lenses automatically adjust to these changing conditions, eliminating the need for constant interruptions to swap out sunglasses. With Photochromic lenses, you can continue your tasks without pausing to remove dirty gloves, as the lenses will darken and lighten as necessary without requiring any attention from you.

If Photochromic lenses don’t meet your preferences, but you still prioritize the importance of safety glasses, we recommend clear lens safety glasses for landscaping. These safety glasses ensure unobstructed visibility, allowing you to perform your landscaping tasks with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re trimming trees, planting flowers, or operating machinery, the clear lens safety glasses will be your reliable companion, keeping your eyes safe throughout your landscaping endeavors.

For those who experience the common presbyopia condition that affects many adults over the age of forty, bifocal safety glasses present a practical solution. These glasses offer the best of both worlds by combining the protection of safety glasses with the near/far vision correction provided by regular bifocals. In landscaping, numerous tasks demand up-close work, making it impractical to constantly remove safety glasses to focus on nearby objects or replace them with standard bifocals, which lack the necessary eye protection. Bifocal safety glasses address this issue seamlessly, providing both eye safety and magnified lower lenses in one convenient and comfortable frame, ensuring you can work confidently and efficiently during all your landscaping activities.

Regardless of your choice of safety glasses for landscaping, they will safeguard one of your most precious assets—your eyes. Opting for Phillips Safety’s safety glasses allows you to enjoy landscaping with the assurance that your eyes are protected from potential hazards.

SHOP BIFOCAL SAFETY GLASSES

Here at Phillips Safety, we often receive questions about using bifocal lenses in safety glasses. Many customers are curious about the noticeable differences between regular safety lenses and bifocal lenses. As such, it’s important to clarify when it is appropriate to use standard safety glasses versus when it is necessary to consider incorporating magnified lower lenses.

THE PRACTICALITY OF BIFOCAL SAFETY GLASSES IN WORK ENVIRONMENTS

Determining the necessity of bifocal safety glasses entails considering two fundamental questions. Firstly, it is crucial to assess the extent of visual impairment experienced in close proximity. Secondly, one must evaluate the frequency of engaging in close-range tasks that necessitate the use of safety glasses. By honestly addressing these inquiries, individuals can ascertain the most suitable type of safety eyewear for their specific needs.

In certain instances, individuals may exhibit only a mild manifestation of presbyopia, a condition characterized by diminished ability of aging eyes to focus on nearby objects. If one’s visual acuity allows for reading, writing, and performing tasks comfortably within a range of 12-15 inches, and if their occupational responsibilities involve minimal close-range work that strains the eyes, standard safety glasses may suffice. However, those with moderate to severe presbyopia or who frequently engage in activities such as reading, paperwork completion, or other close-range tasks will derive significant benefits from utilizing bifocal safety glasses.

In the context of employing safety glasses, it is presumed that one engages in work or personal activities that entail a certain level of risk for potential eye damage, such as exposure to sparks, flying debris, accidental eye contact, or windy conditions. In such situations, it is strongly recommended to consistently wear safety glasses without removing them for tasks such as reading print or taking notes. The utilization of regular bifocals in conjunction with safety glasses is not advisable or appropriate when safety glasses are necessary or mandated. To ensure clear and safe vision under these circumstances, the use of safety bifocals becomes essential.

Phillips Safety offers a collection of high-quality bifocal safety glasses that meet ANSI Z87 safety standards. These glasses are equipped with impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses, ensuring optimal safety measures. They are also available in a variety of lens colors and magnification levels ranging from +1.00 to +3.00. For added convenience, customers have the option to purchase transition bifocal safety glasses, whose lenses adapt to changing lighting conditions and make them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

In conclusion, by evaluating the extent of visual impairment at close range and the frequency of engaging in tasks that require safety glasses individuals can determine the most suitable eyewear for their specific needs. While standard safety glasses may suffice for those with mild presbyopia and minimal close-range work, individuals with moderate to severe presbyopia or regular involvement in close-range tasks will greatly benefit from the use of bifocal safety glasses.

Eliminate the need to compromise between eye safety and comfortable vision by opting for a solution that incorporates both features. With Phillips Safety’s collection, you can seamlessly combine the benefits of safety glasses and bifocals. By doing so, you can ensure clear, focused vision up close while providing your eyes with the necessary protection they deserve.

How Do Laser Safety Glasses Work?

Posted on by kennethMoreira
H-LSG-CTA

Various industries actively utilize laser safety glasses in applications involving lasers, including medicine, research, military operations, and various industrial sectors. If you’re working with a laser and need to wear laser safety glasses, you may be wondering to yourself: How do my laser safety glasses work? The simple answer is, they block the laser from getting to your eye. Ultimately, laser safety glasses actively prevent direct, reflected, and scattered laser beams and radiation from reaching your eyes, potentially causing damage or destruction to your retina.

High-quality laser safety glasses actively safeguard both the eyes and skin. Available in many styles and covering a wide range of laser protection, laser safety glasses are not all created equal. Different lenses and filtration levels make each pair of glasses or goggles unique to their specified purpose. Phillips Safety Products, Inc. manufactures eyewear that offers protection from hazardous reflected or scattered laser light of Class 3R, Class 3B, and Class 4 laser systems. Although different glasses have varying levels of protection to meet certain specifications, every pair of laser safety glasses depends on the same technology.

How Laser Safety Glasses Work: The Basics

No matter the level of protection, every pair of laser safety glasses works on this simple premise: blocking laser light from reaching the eye. Protecting your eyes is incredibly important because your retina does not have pain receptors that alert you to potential damage. As a consequence, sudden and severe eye damage may ensue unexpectedly, underscoring the necessity for utmost caution when handling the concentrated radiation emitted by laser light. Laser safety glasses actively disrupt specific wavelengths of light, effectively blocking those targeted wavelengths while allowing the passage of other light through specially crafted lenses. This capability enables uninterrupted work without the hindrance of darkness or hazardous laser beams. Optical density quantifies the amount of light absorbed by the lens and dictates its capacity to block light waves effectively.

Here’s a more thorough explanation of how laser safety glasses work

  • Laser safety glasses have colored or special clear lenses that filter light. They block certain wavelengths of light (either visible or invisible) and allow other light through.
  • By filtering light, laser safety glasses allow enough visible light through for you to work without allowing dangerous direct, reflected, or scattered laser radiation which could harm your eyes or blind you.
  • Laser safety glasses are specified by the wavelengths they block (usually in a range of wavelengths) and the Optical Density (OD), or the strength at which they block those wavelengths.
  • Generally, laser safety glasses actively block all light except for a small, invisible fraction from passing through the lens. Some laser glasses, used for alignment purposes, permit slightly more wavelength to pass through, enabling the beam to be visible. Unless alignment glasses are specifically required for alignment tasks, they should not be substituted for laser safety glasses.
  • Laser safety glasses actively cater to protection against every type of hazardous laser, ensuring comprehensive safety measures for users. They can be clear or colored and generally come in a variety of styles.
  • Laser lenses are usually impregnated with special chemicals and dyes, which allow them to block the wavelengths they block.

About Filtration

Laser safety glasses effectively filter light using various color and chemical treatments to block harmful laser radiation from reaching the eyes. Before purchasing, it’s crucial to know your laser’s wavelength and power. Understanding these, along with optical density (OD), ensures you select the right level of protection. Wavelength measures the spatial periods between light waves, typically ranging from 700nm (dark red) to 400nm (violet) for visible light. Laser safety glasses focus on filtering electromagnetic spectrum light rather than visible light. Optical density measures how much light is absorbed at specific wavelengths, crucial for ensuring adequate protection against targeted wavelengths. Mathematical breakdowns of optical density and wavelength further elucidate their relationship. By grasping these concepts, you can confidently choose laser safety glasses tailored to your needs, safeguarding your eyes from potentially harmful laser radiation.

Lens Technology

There are two main types of lenses used in the production of laser safety glasses. These are glass filters and polycarbonate filters. Phillips Safety Products, Inc. has worked extensively to develop both these materials to achieve maximum protection. Below, you will find breakdowns of each type of lens.

1. Glass Filters – though less technologically advanced – are important because several wavelengths require glass protection. These filters typically allow more visible light to be transmitted through the lens and are best suited for use around mid-to high-power density lasers. Phillips Safety Products, Inc. offers custom combined glass filters and can achieve higher OD levels by increasing the thickness of the lens.

2. Polycarbonate Filters Polycarbonate filters are super lightweight and impact-resistant. Phillips Safety Products, Inc. has developed a high-quality line of polycarbonate filters to meet maximum protection at the most affordable prices. Less expensive than glass filters, polycarbonate filters now offer a wide range of wavelength absorption and achieve higher visual light transmission than ever before. These filters are best suited for low- to mid-power density lasers Polycarbonate filters, now offering a wide range of wavelength absorption, are becoming increasingly popular due to their lower cost compared to glass filters. Additionally, they achieve higher visual light transmission than ever before. These filters are best suited for low- to mid-power density lasers and can also be customized to meet specified needed can also be customized to meet specified needs.

Choosing Your Safety Glasses

Laser safety glasses should be selected based on the laser’s operating wavelength, power, beam diameter, and the specific field of use. Consider these factors to choosing glasses with the appropriate wavelength range and optical density (OD). Consult your laser operator’s manual or a Certified Laser Safety Officer (CLSO) for guidance.

SHOP FORENSIC GLASSES

The task of examining a crime scene for traces of biological fluids without compromising evidence or causing physical disturbance may appear daunting. However, detectives worldwide accomplish this feat on a daily basis, successfully solving crimes and gathering crucial evidence. How is this achieved? The answer lies in utilizing specialized forensic glasses and illuminating the area with meticulously-filtered light, allowing investigators to observe the results firsthand.

HOW FORENSIC GLASSES WORK

The identification of biological evidence, including blood, semen, saliva, and urine, holds significant importance in crime scene investigations. Employing forensic light sources provides a simple, presumptive, and non-destructive method for detecting various types of biological evidence. This is possible due to the natural characteristics of such substances, including light absorption or fluorescence effects.

So, how does this system function? The explanation lies in a few fundamental scientific principles. Certain fluids exhibit visible reflections when exposed to X-rays or ultraviolet (UV) light. This visibility stems from the fact that different substances react and become observable at distinct wavelengths. While these substances may be invisible to the naked eye under ordinary lighting conditions, they become prominently visible when a UV lamp is directed towards them, provided the observer possesses the appropriate color filter capable of interpreting the necessary wavelength. This is where forensic glasses play a crucial role.

Forensic glasses effectively filter out light from all wavelengths except the specific one selected, thereby revealing the desired substance that the investigator seeks. Once the evidence is identified, it can be documented through photography using a camera equipped with a lens of the same color as the forensic glasses that initially detected the substance. Additionally, samples can be collected for further analysis.

LENS FILTERS IN FORENSIC GLASSES

Typically, three different filter colors, namely red, orange, and yellow, are utilized in this process, with each designed to unveil a distinct wavelength. The properties associated with each filter color, measured in nanometers (nm), are outlined as follows: red lenses reveal a wavelength of 583 nm, orange lenses reveal a wavelength of 549 nm, and yellow lenses reveal a wavelength of 480 nm.

Given their significance in crime scene investigations, forensic glasses have emerged as a highly valuable tool for detectives and investigators. They prove essential for examining crime scenes and analyzing evidence collected from such scenes. Just like regular eyewear, forensic glasses come in a range of frame formats to cater to individual preferences and specific requirements of each crime scene. Phillips Safety offers four distinct styles of forensic glasses for each lens filter, including options with a wrap-around design and models that can be worn over prescription eyewear.

The different styles of forensic glasses offer a range of features, such as side protection, adjustable temple bars, lightweight nylon frames resistant to chemicals, rubberized nose pads, and rubberized temple bars. All styles have been safety rated to meet ANSI Z87 standards and are available with any of the aforementioned three lens colors. If you are seeking forensic glasses, make sure to check Phillips Safety’s forensic glasses collection.

However, the intense light emitted by these lasers can be harmful to the eyes, and it is crucial to use the appropriate protective equipment to prevent eye damage.

Different than other laser types, IPL lasers do not operate at a specific wavelength. Instead, they emit light at a range of wavelengths, making it challenging to choose laser glasses based on wavelength alone. For this reason, it is recommended to use IPL-specific laser glasses that are designed to protect against the intense brightness of the light emitted by IPL lasers.

What Grade of Laser Glasses Should I Wear When Using Intense Pulse Light?

Unlike other types of lasers that operate at a specific wavelength, IPL lasers have a broad spectrum of light. Therefore, when choosing laser glasses for IPL treatments, it’s not effective to shop based on the operating wavelength of the laser. Instead, it’s essential to select laser glasses specifically designed for IPL procedures. 

These glasses are rated for IPL and offer optimal protection against the intense pulsed light used in these treatments. It is crucial to use the appropriate grade of laser glasses when performing IPL procedures to ensure the safety of both the operator and the patient. 

In other words, the grade of laser glasses you should wear when using intense pulse light lasers should be ones rated for IPL. Phillips Safety provides a range of IPL-specific laser glasses that meet the necessary safety standards and provide reliable protection against the harmful effects of IPL radiation.

Understanding the Different Types of IPL Safety Glasses and Eye Shields Available

The most common types of IPL laser glasses are either green or brown. Green is the standard IPL color and is used in most applications, while brown offers similar protection and is contrast-enhancing, giving you better vision during your work. 

 

The IPL Green laser safety lens have a polycarbonate green lens filter that provides IPL laser protection. These laser lens have visible light transmission of 15%. In addition, the IPL Green laser safety lens have ANSI Z87+ plus ANSI Z136.1 safety standards.

The IPL Brown laser safety lens utilizes a polycarbonate brown tint lens that provides specific IPL laser protection. These lenses have a visible light transmission rate of 11%. Moreover, the IPL Brown laser safety lens adheres to the safety standards of ANSI Z87+ and ANSI Z136.1.

It’s important to note that IPL glasses should be worn at all times while the laser is in use, not just by the operator but also by the patient. Additionally, IPL glasses should fit snugly around the eyes to ensure that no light can enter through the sides or top of the glasses.

While IPL glasses are crucial for protecting the eyes during IPL procedures only, it’s important to assess the risks of each procedure and to choose the appropriate protective equipment accordingly.

In addition to standard IPL safety glasses, Phillips Safety also provides other types of protective IPL treatments, which are IPL patient goggles and disposable eye shields.

IPL patient goggles, also referred as patient blockout glasses are designed to protect the patient’s eyes from the bright flashes of light emitted during IPL treatments. These glasses are typically made of opaque material that completely blocks out all light, making it easier for the patient to relax during the treatment. These glasses feature adjustable straps and have a visible light transmission of 0%. 

In the same way, disposable eye shields are protective devices designed to safeguard the eyes during laser procedures. Laser eye shields are essential for protecting the eyes from the harmful effects of laser radiation, which can cause eye damage or even blindness if proper precautions are not taken. They are commonly used in ophthalmology, dermatology, and other medical fields involving lasers.

Each type of safety glasses or eye shield is designed to protect the eyes from IPL procedures and ensure the safety and comfort of both the operator and the patient. It is important to choose the right type of safety glasses or eye shield based on the specific requirements of the IPL treatment being performed. Phillips Safety offers a wide range of options to meet the needs of different IPL procedures. By following these guidelines and assessing the risks of each procedure, you can ensure that you are taking the necessary steps to protect your eyes during IPL treatments.
