As a rule of thumb, start with a shade that is too dark to see the weld or cut zone. Then go to a lighter shade which gives
sufficient view of the weld or cut zone without going below the minimum. In oxyfuel gas welding, cutting, or brazing where the
torch produces a high yellow light, it is desirable to use a filter lens that absorbs the yellow or sodium line in the visible light of
the (spectrum) operation.
