Description

A-SEG-14

Comfortable Safety Goggle with The Perfect Lens for Viewing a Solar Eclipse.

Designed to fit over prescription eye glasses and have contoured shape for snug, comfortable viewing!  Kit Includes Shade #14 lens to safely view a Solar Eclipse.

Experts suggest for safe solar viewing you need a shade 14 welder's UV filter plate. It is imperative that you use a #14 filter plate. Do not use welding glasses if you do not know or cannot discern the filter plate shade number.  A welding filter plate that permits you to see the landscape is not safe. Inexpensive "eclipse sun glasses" do not permit safe viewing

Note:
Googles come with a shade #5 lens installed, and Must be Changed to safely view an eclipse.

How Install the #14 Lens into your Goggles for Safe Viewing .pdf

  1. Place the goggles face down on a table with the nose slot closest to you.
  2. Locate the Arrow ā‡½ on the back, left side of the goggles.
  3. Push the rectangular retaining spring down & left, toward the Arrow ā‡½, until the right side pops out.
  4. Remove the retaining spring.
  5. From the front of the goggles, loosen the 2 lenses (1 clear & 1 Shade #5) by popping them up into the small reservoir.
  6. Slide the lenses toward the arrow and lift them out of the goggles.
  7. Put the Shade #5 lens aside; it is not needed.
  8. If the Clear lens has a protective plastic sheet, remove it carefully, trying to avoid fingerprinting the lens.
  9. Remove your Shade #14 Lens from its package.
  10. Place the #14 lens on top of the clear protective lens, with the mirrored side face down.
  11. Place both lenses into goggles, with clear lens on the outside & mirrored side behind it, facing outward.
  12. Use the small reservoir of extra space, beneath the Arrow to get both ends of the lenses inserted beneath the lip & then slide them back away from the Arrow, toward the right to get both to drop down into place properly.
  13. Do not force the lenses into place. You may want to pop them up & over from the front side of the goggles to get both lenses to settle in properly.
  14. Replace the retaining spring, following the same steps as the lenses.
  15. You may hear a “pop” once the retaining spring is back into place.
  16. You’re now ready to safely view the eclipsing sun!

    It takes less than 5 minutes to swap in the included #14 glass, no tools required. The size and adjustible strap mean that these fit my 3 year old's head as well as they do mine. I went outside and tried it: you can look at the sun comfortably even when there's no eclipse. You can't see much else, but that's the point of it.
