When it comes to high-current Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), selecting the right welding lens shade is critical for ensuring both safety and optimal visibility. The intense brightness and UV/IR radiation produced during these welding processes necessitate the use of a proper lens to protect your eyes and enhance your work quality. At Phillips Safety, we offer a range of high-quality welding lenses designed to meet the demands of high-current welding applications.

Recommended Welding Lens Shades

For high-current GMAW and FCAW, the appropriate lens shade depends on the amperage being used. Here is a general guideline to help you choose the correct lens shade:

60-160 amps

Shade 10

160-250 amps

Shade 11

250-500 amps

Shade 12

500-600 amps

Shade 13

600-700 amps

Shade 14

Typically, high-current GMAW and FCAW operate in the range of 250-500 amps or more. For these settings, it is recommended to use a Shade 12 to Shade 14 welding lens. This range provides sufficient protection against the intense light and radiation, ensuring your eyes are well-protected while allowing you to see your work clearly.
