OVERVIEW

Tough, Lightweight, and Clear

Get a clear view of your work without the weight of glass. The Walter Static Poly Shade 10 Welding Lens is built for welders who demand durability without sacrificing comfort. If you are tired of replacing cracked glass lenses or dealing with a heavy hood dragging you down by the end of the day, this polycarbonate upgrade is the solution. Sized at 4-1/2" x 5-1/4", it drops right into most standard "big window" welding helmets, giving you a wide field of view for tracking your joint.

The Shade 10 darkness is the sweet spot for most general welding tasks. Whether you are running beads in the garage or working on a site, this lens keeps your eyes protected from the intense glare of the arc. Because it is made from high-grade polycarbonate, it is virtually shatterproof. This means if you accidentally drop your helmet or take a hit from a flying object, your eyes remain protected behind a barrier that won't fragment like old-school glass plates.

Installation is quick and easy—just swap out your old plate and secure the retaining spring. The lens is also resistant to spatter, so you spend less time cleaning and more time burning rod. It is an affordable, high-performance essential for any welder's kit, providing the reliability of a static shade with modern material science.

FAQ

Polycarbonate lenses are significantly lighter and more impact-resistant than glass. They do not shatter when dropped, making them safer, though glass is generally more scratch-resistant.

This lens fits any welding helmet designed to accept a standard 4-1/2" x 5-1/4" filter plate. Please check your helmet's manual for size compatibility.

Shade 10 is generally suitable for TIG welding above 50-60 amps. For very low amperage TIG, a darker shade or an auto-darkening lens might be preferred.

No, this is a 'static' or passive lens, meaning it stays at Shade 10 constantly and does not change when the arc is struck.

Clean with mild soap and water or a dedicated lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough cloths that could scratch the polycarbonate surface.

Yes, the polycarbonate material and the shading filter block 99.9% of harmful UV and IR radiation generated by the welding arc.
