Lens Color Chart

More than just ornamental, Gateway Safety lens options serves a specific function. The lens selection chart below provides a general guideline, but always consult your safety director to determine the proper lens option for each application.

VLT (Visual Light Transmittance) is the amount of visible light (+/- 2%) that passes through the lens. 

	CLEAR – Ideal for indoor applications and general purpose applications. Gateway Safety’s clear lens offers excellent optics. 92% VLT
	GRAY – Primarily used for outdoor applications. Minimizes glare that can result in eye strain and fatigue. 14% VLT
	MOCHA – Commonly used for outdoor applications. Minimizes glare that can result in eye strain and fatigue. 23% VLT
	AMBER – Provides a high level of contrast. Allows for better definition, particularly in low-light applications. 89% VLT
	PACIFIC BLUE – Provides a significant level of contrast. Helps create better definition by allowing more light through the lens. 62% VLT
	ORANGE – A high-contrast lens that is ideal for general wear and intermittent light conditions. 50% VLT
	VERMILION – Enhances contrast and can reduce some glare from fluorescent or bright lighting. 50% VLT
	ANTI-FOG – Even in the most extreme environments, Gateway Safety’s anti-fog coating helps minimize, or even eliminate, lens fogging.
	CLEAR IN/OUT MIRROR – Popular lens color for workers challenged by regular movement indoors and outdoors. Clear lens offers excellent optical clarity inside; light gold mirror finish reduces glare outdoors. 50% VLT
	BRONZE MIRROR – Reflects some bright light while offering good optical clarity. 50% VLT
	PINK MIRROR – Reflects some bright light while offering good optical clarity. 37% VLT
	RED MIRROR – Reflects bright light to reduce eye strain and fatigue. 14% VLT
	MOCHA MIRROR – Reflects bright light to reduce eye strain and fatigue. 14% VLT
	GOLD MIRROR – Reflects bright light to reduce eye strain and fatigue. 14% VLT
	SILVER MIRROR – Reflects bright light to reduce eye strain and fatigue. 23% VLT
	BLUE MIRROR – Reflects bright light to reduce eye strain and fatigue. 23% VLT
	BLUE LIGHT FILTER LENSES– Helps reduce blue light exposure, which can lead to a phenomenon called “Blue Blur.” 18% VLT
	IR FILTER SHADE 3.0 – For use around light welding or light brazing/cutting. 12% VLT
	IR FILTER SHADE 5.0 – For use around light welding or light brazing/cutting. 2% VLT
