This work covers the visible light transmission changes due to solar and high‐pressure mercury‐arc radiation for a soda‐lime glass when 0.15% of As 2 O 3 , CeO 2 , MnO 2 , and Sb 2 O 3 are added. Each oxidizing agent exhibits characteristic color change after irradiation and Sb 2 O 3 shows least color change. Effects of ultraviolet radiation on transmission in the infrared and ultraviolet are given. Differences in the depth of penetration of the color change for solar and arc radiation are pointed out. Replacement of Na 2 O or K 2 O by Li 2 O causes radical reduction in color change from mercury‐arc radiation. A Li 2 O ‐BeO‐SiO 2 glass exhibits no color change when subjected to mercury‐arc radiation.
