  • Universal Lens Filter - 50mm Binocular and Eclipse Glasses Bundle

    This Universal Lens Filter bundle provides two 50mm solar filters designed for binoculars or small telescopes, fully compliant with ISO 12312-2 safety standards. The core of each filter is Thousand Oaks SolarLite film, which blocks 99.999% of incoming sunlight to reveal a crisp, orange-tinted image of the Sun. To share the experience, this kit also includes 5 pairs of eclipse glasses for safe, unaided group viewing.

    ISO 12312-2 Certified: Safe Solar Viewing with 99.999% Rejection

    These filters use Thousand Oaks' renowned Density-5 SolarLite film, which meets the rigorous ISO 12312-2:2015 requirements for direct solar observation. This level of filtration rejects 99.999% of the Sun's energy, allowing you to safely observe sunspots and solar eclipses through your existing optics. The result is a sharp, high-contrast solar disc with a natural orange hue, free from harmful radiation.

    Universal 50mm Fit: Foldable Design for Binoculars and Camera Lenses

    The ingenious design consists of a foldable, double-layer heavy card stock that forms a secure cup over the front of any lens or binocular barrel measuring 50mm to 69mm in outside diameter. This makes the filters universally compatible with most standard binoculars, spotting scopes, and camera lenses without requiring specific adapter threads. The interior is printed black to minimize internal reflections, preserving the contrast of the solar image.

    Group Viewing Bundle: 2 Filters and 5 Eclipse Glasses Included

    This kit is built for sharing a solar event. It includes a pair of 50mm filters to outfit a set of binoculars for magnified viewing, plus 5 additional eclipse glasses for friends and family. While the filters turn your binoculars into a safe solar instrument, the glasses provide the same ISO-certified protection for watching with the naked eye. This makes it a complete, cost-effective solution for small groups planning to observe an eclipse together.

  • How do I attach the 50mm Universal Lens Filter to my binoculars?

    The filter is made of pre-scored heavy card stock that you fold into a cup shape. This cup is designed to fit snugly over the front barrel of your binocular's objective lens. Simply place one filter over each of the two 50mm lenses to begin observing safely.

    Is the Universal Lens Filter's film safe for my camera sensor?

    Yes. The Thousand Oaks SolarLite film is a "white light" filter that is placed in front of the lens, blocking 99.999% of the Sun's energy before it enters the optical system. This protects not only your eyes but also your camera's sensitive sensor and internal components from heat and intense light.

    Can I use the 50mm Universal Lens Filter to see solar flares or prominences?

    No. These are white-light filters designed to show the Sun's surface (photosphere), which includes features like sunspots and granulation. Viewing solar flares and prominences requires a specialized, narrow-band Hydrogen-alpha (H-alpha) telescope or filter, which isolates a specific wavelength of light from the Sun's chromosphere.

    What makes this Universal Lens Filter bundle a good choice for a solar eclipse?

    This bundle is an all-in-one solution for a small group. It provides two 50mm filters to equip a pair of binoculars for a magnified view of the eclipse phases, and 5 pairs of eclipse glasses for simultaneous naked-eye viewing. Both the filters and glasses meet the ISO 12312-2 safety standard, ensuring everyone can watch safely.

    I have 10x50 binoculars. Will these 50mm filters allow me to see sunspots?

    Yes, as long as the front barrels of your 10x50 binoculars measure 50mm to 69mm in outside diameter. The 10x magnification will be more than enough to resolve large sunspot groups on the solar surface clearly and safely.

    Can I use one of these 50mm filters on my 200mm telephoto camera lens for photography?

    Yes, as long as the front of your camera lens measures between 50mm and 69mm in outside diameter. The foldable design allows it to create a cap over the front of the lens. You can then safely use your camera to photograph the Sun.
