The magnifying lens +1.5 (dioptre, part no. 32445) is the second of the 4 Böhler Welding strengths, 0.5 stronger than +1.0. You fit it at the ADF filter of the helmet when close-up detail is clearer with the weakest lens but still not sharp.

Who it is for
- Welders for whom +1.0 is not enough and close-up detail is still blurred.
- Precise close-up work, for example short TIG welds on thin sheet.
- Users of 19 Guardian, Evolution, Laser Guard and Safe Guard helmets.
Is the magnifying lens +1.5 the right one?
+1.5 is the second strength on offer: 0.5 stronger than +1.0 and 0.5 weaker than +2.0.
- With +1.0 Böhler Welding magnifying lens (dioptre) +1.0 for welding helmets you see better but not yet sharply: choose +1.5.
- With +1.5 the image only gets sharp when you lean in closer than usual: go back to +1.0.
- With +1.5 detail is still soft and you work close to the part: try +2.0 Böhler Welding magnifying lens (dioptre) +2.0 for welding helmets.
Key features
- Strength +1.5, the middle step between +1.0 and +2.0.
- Fits the same 19 helmets as the other strengths, including the Air versions.
- In the Evolution V80 it needs the dioptre adapter Böhler Welding dioptre adapter Evolution V80, V80M.
- Sold individually, so you can keep two strengths and swap them for the job.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose +1.5 instead of +1.0?
When the weld is clearer with the +1.0 lens but still not sharp from your usual distance. Each step between strengths is 0.5.
Does it fit air-fed helmets?
Yes, the Guardian 50M Air, 50FM Air, 62 Air, 62F Air, Evolution Vision 65F Air and 65FM Air, Evolution V80 Air and V80M Air (with adapter Böhler Welding dioptre adapter Evolution V80, V80M), Laser Guard Air and Safe Guard 62F Air.
Can I keep two strengths and swap them?
Yes. Each lens is a separate item, so you can keep, for example, +1.0 and +1.5 and swap them at the ADF filter for the job.
