Safe Alternative to Solar Eclipse Glasses

Solar eclipse glasses are crafted eyewear equipped with solar filters, which shield against harmful UV and IR radiation, enabling secure observation of solar eclipses. They safeguard the eyes from potential harm arising from direct sunlight during the eclipse.

Although solar eclipse glasses are widely chosen for secure eclipse viewing, they may come at a high cost and have a limited lifespan. Conversely, welding lenses, constructed from robust glass, provide the most vivid imagery.

How to Use Welding Lenses to View Solar Eclipses

To safely view a solar eclipse using a welding lens, follow these steps to construct a makeshift viewing apparatus.

• Procure a shade 14 welding lens, renowned for its ability to shield against the sun's intense luminosity.
• Securely affix the welding lens onto a sturdy frame, such as cardboard or wood, ensuring a stable attachment.
• During the eclipse, position the viewing device in front of your eyes, allowing the welding lens to filter out hazardous radiation while permitting observation of the celestial event.
• Verify that the welding lens is of the appropriate shade and remains in optimal condition to ensure adequate eye protection throughout the viewing experience.

Alternatively, welding lenses can be used with any passive shade welding helmet they fit.
