The Lampworking glasses model SW223 polycarbonate is very efficient in filtering sodium flare in addition to providing good ultraviolet protection. Also, although it has a relatively low luminous transmission of 38%, it is not recommended for Lampworking where Infrared protection is needed. This filter is more for soft glass usage and clear borosilicate glass similar to the old Didymium glasses

Lampworking is a type of glasswork in which a torch or lamp is used to melt the glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is also known as flameworking or torchworking, as the modern practice no longer uses oil-fueled lamps.
