Frequently asked questions
How does Blue Mirror differ from the Clear and Amber models?
It has a sun glare filter to EN 172 (marking 5-3.1), while the Clear (Böhler Welding Eyewear Clear safety glasses) and Amber (Böhler Welding Eyewear Amber safety glasses) have a UV filter to EN 170 (marking 2-1.2). Blue Mirror is for outdoor work in the sun, Clear for normal lighting, Amber for low light.
Can I wear them indoors?
The manufacturer intends them for outdoor work in bright sunlight. Indoors choose glasses with clear lenses, such as the Clear Pro with anti-fog coating (Böhler Welding Eyewear Clear Pro anti-fog safety glasses).
Do they protect against the welding arc?
No. A sun glare filter is not a welding filter. For gas welding use the IR5 model (Böhler Welding Eyewear IR5 gas welding glasses), for arc welding a welding helmet.
Can I buy a single pair?
Yes, we sell them per piece with a VAT invoice; the manufacturer packs them in boxes of 20. We ship across the European Union.
