Auto-Darkening Welding Helmets


Protect your eyes the moment you start welding—four sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. Unlike traditional green welding lenses, these helmets use a true color lens to enhance clarity and color accuracy. They allow for a better look at your weld pool to increase weld quality and reduce eye strain. To customize the helmet’s fit so you can focus on welding, these helmets have a ratchet adjustment with an easy-turn knob. Solar cells recharge the helmet’s battery while you work.
Nylon plastic helmets offer a wider range of shade numbers and better optical clarity than polycarbonate helmets. They use digital controls to adjust settings such as shade number, light sensitivity, and mode selection.
Optical clarity measures how clearly a welder can see through the lens based on four categories: visual accuracy, light diffusion, consistency, and distortion. Each category is given a rating on a scale of 1 to 3. The lower the number, the better the clarity. Better optical clarity allows for precise welds, reduces eye strain, and improves focus.

Auto-Darkening Welding Helmets with Integrated Light
Weld with the same quality as you would in bright conditions. These helmets have a built-in LED light that brightens your workspace, so you can see your weld and maintain precision even in dark areas. Turn the LED light on with the press of a button, and when it detects an arc or intense light, the light automatically turns off.
As you begin to weld, four arc sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. Unlike traditional green welding lenses, these helmets use a true color lens to enhance clarity and color accuracy. They have digital controls behind the lens where you can set the shade number, delay time, and sensitivity. To switch to grind mode without removing your helmet, use the button above the lens.
Mount these helmets to a hard-hat adapter when working in areas that require extra head protection. Attach magnifying lenses to see details better.

Precise-Shade Auto-Darkening Welding Helmets
Take full control of your shade level with these helmets—you can set the lens to adjust in half-shade increments. They have digital controls behind the lens where you can set the shade number, delay time, and sensitivity. Save up to nine settings to quickly switch between tasks. To switch to grind mode without removing your helmet, press the button above the lens.
As you weld, four sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. To improve weld quality and reduce eye strain, these helmets have a wide panoramic view and a true color lens. The lens enhances clarity and color accuracy to reduce the color distortion of your view.
