Direct/Indirect Vent Shaded Welding Goggle — EN166/EN169

Frequently asked questions

What are these goggles designed for?

They are shaded gas welding goggles designed for use in oxy/fuel (oxy-acetylene) gas welding, where they protect the eyes from the bright light and radiation of the flame.

What shade are the lenses?

The lenses are shade SH5, a fixed shade suited to oxy/fuel gas welding work.

Are they CE approved to any standards?

Yes. The shaded lens is CE approved to EN166 (eye protection) and EN169 (welding filters).

What is the difference between the direct and indirect vent versions?

Both are offered as shaded goggles; direct-vent models allow more airflow, while indirect-vent models route ventilation around the lens for added protection against spatter and particles. Both carry the same shade 5 lens and CE approvals.

Can I use these for arc, MIG or TIG welding?

These are intended for oxy/fuel gas welding. Electric arc processes such as MIG, TIG and stick produce much stronger radiation and generally require a welding helmet or shield with an appropriate higher shade rather than gas goggles.
