Light transmission curve 
Speedglas welding filters keep the welder 
protected from harmful UV and IR radiation. 
This protection remains always, in ON, OFF, 
dark and light state. The curve also shows that
the 
transmission in the light state is dominated
by 
green light. Therefore the ”green” glass in
the welding filter.
