ESD-Safe lens guards against uncontrolled static dissipation and is protected with a special coating that alters the electrical characteristics at the surface of the material. The shade and arm are powder-coated with a metal-laced paint that measures 1010 O/sq. (static dissipative) making the surfaces no longer insulative. Triboelectric charging results in drastically lower voltages, especially since any charge (under 50 volts) is uniformly distributed throughout the entire surface of the unit’
