Choosing welding goggles
Flame work, not arc welding
Goggles and shade 5 spectacles suit gas welding, brazing and oxy-fuel cutting. Arc welding (MIG, TIG and stick) produces much brighter light and needs a darker filter, which is normally provided by a welding helmet. Do not use goggles to look at an arc.
Shade
The shade you need depends on the process, the flame size and the thickness of the work. Both products here are shade 5. If your work needs a different shade, ask us before you buy. Our welding eye protection guide explains how shade relates to the process.
Flip-up or fixed
A flip-up front lets you lift the shade lens to set up or inspect the work without taking the goggles off. Spectacles are lighter and cooler, but give less coverage around the eyes than goggles.
Replacing lenses
Replace a lens when it is scratched enough to affect your vision, and replace the goggles if the frame is damaged or no longer fits snugly.
Always check the data sheet
Shade, lens material and the Australian Standard a product is certified to differ between products. Confirm these on the product page or data sheet, and ask us if you are unsure what suits your process.

Welding goggles FAQs
Can I use welding goggles for arc welding?
No. Goggles with a shade 5 lens are for flame work such as gas welding, brazing and oxy-fuel cutting. Arc welding needs a darker filter, normally provided by a welding helmet.
What shade do I need for gas welding?
It depends on the process, the flame and the thickness of the work. The goggles and spectacles here are shade 5. If you are unsure what suits your work, ask us or check the data sheet.
What is the difference between goggles and spectacles?
Goggles sit against the face and cover more around the eyes. Spectacles are lighter and cooler to wear, but give less coverage.
What does a flip-up front do?
It lets you lift the shade lens out of the way to set up or inspect the work, without taking the goggles off.
When should I replace welding goggle lenses?
Replace the lens when it is scratched enough to affect your vision, and replace the goggles if the frame is damaged or no longer fits snugly.
