The VetroSafe® Click2Shade™ Split Lens System provides a convenient and low-cost split lens that combines our Shade #3 base lens with an on-demand conversion capability into a Shade #5 filter in the lower portion of the field of view for increased blocking of visible and infrared light.
Shade #5 filters are often needed for working with certain colors of borosilicate glass that glow brightly when heated. The increased light attenuation of a Shade #5 lens makes working with these colors more comfortable over extended periods of time. In addition, due to the typical positioning of a glassworker's torch below the workpiece, a split lens design can provide improved vision by allowing a higher transmission of light in the top portion of the lens.
Click2Shade™ is the first in the industry to attach the split lens using magnetic mounting of the accessory lens. The tiny high-strength neodymium magnets securely retain the accessory lens while enabling easy removal by the user. The Click2Shade magnetic attachment system enables a number of unique advantages, including:
- The accessory lens can be removed or added as needed
- Small diameter magnets have minimal visibility
- Rapid removal capability enables easy cleaning of the lens parts
- Impact strength of the carrier lens is not compromised by a horizontal cut
- Carrier lens provides full-view sodium flare protection rather than only a partial view as seen in some other products.
A customized carrying case for the accessory lenses is included with each Click2Shade-enabled eyewear.
NOTE: Click2Shade lens components are hand-assembled in the USA and may require an additional 2-3 days lead time to ship depending on stock availability.
