    According to the OSHA website and the "welder's manual" (I don't
    have it with me so can't cite the specific title right now), you need
    either shade 4 or 5 when working with oxy/acetylene. 

    http://www.osha.gov/Publications/osha3151.pdf 

    page 15, near the bottom, "gas welding" gives flame size for guidance
    as to selection of appropriate lens darkness. 

    Keep in mind that the danger is not necessarily the visible light,
    but the "radiant energy" produced by the flame. 

Hope this helps!
