An apparatus for transmitting favorable light from a welding arc to the eyes of the welder contains a dichroic filter, an adhesive, and a welding lens. The dichroic filter is superimposed onto the welding lens with the adhesive. More specifically, when considering a cross section, the adhesive is positioned in between the dichroic filter and the welding lens. In order to utilize the apparatus during a welding process, the apparatus is positioned within the viewing window of a welding helmet. In particular, the dichroic filter is oriented outwards such that the welding lens is positioned in close proximity to the eyes of the welder when the welding helmet is worn. The apparatus provides the welder a satisfying welding experience and also protects the eyes of the welder from harmful ultraviolet light and infrared light.
